The Race Continues

THE RACE CONTINUES by JOHN M. ARRIBAS The relentless waves devour the shore Once familiar places exist no more I look about the treeless plain Those loved faces do not remain Yet I see them joyful memories I keep Cherished events are buried deep Those that guided me are still within I take their role for friend and kin Another soon will receive the baton The race continues on and on Episodes will continue to unfold What is the purpose, what is the goal?
