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?
