The Race

You set out with your hopes and dreams,
but you find that things aren't as they seem.
Who's to blame for things gone wrong?
You start to sing a different song.
Life is an illusion...didn't you know?
It's only a test...your learning will show.
What is expected...is that you give it your best,
for you are the one who planned out your quest.
We are all here to learn...some more than others
but each one of us is the other ones brother.
Why have the ones you love gone astray?
Didn't they tell you? Didn't they say?
Perhaps they also question the meaning of life,
when some things aren't easy and some things not nice.
Just let them know...their here for a reason,
as you are my sister...at least for a season.
It will get better when home we all go...but for now my dear sister,
I want you to know...
what ever happens...be it bad or the good,
take comfort in knowing...you stand where I stood.
It's never easy to sail the unknown...
but God wants you to know that your never alone!
