The Race Within
Life is a race, a journey we chase,
Not won in an instant, nor lost in a pace.
If victory you seek, then learn to wait,
For time has its rhythm, its own perfect date.
We don’t run this race like a hundred-metre sprint,
Life’s track is wider, with lessons in print.
To understand life is the true art to learn,
Where failures may come, and tides often turn.
Reality is something we all must embrace,
For truth is the torch that lights up our space.
Life asks for hard work, for sincerity too,
For devotion to duty in all that we do.
It demands sacrifice, courage, and grace,
A heart that keeps running, whatever the case.
So run with wisdom, with purpose and light—
In the great race of life, your future is bright.
