Marion Mwangi Poet I do not know?

This Race

OF THE RACE
Of the race I think I ran
      Across life’s highway at full throttle
        Sometimes with tears blocking my way 
           And others with a smile lighting my life

T’was never good all da time 
    Not always rosy or cozy
      Sometimes it stung me w’ere it hurt
          And by golly I learned to hold it in 

This race I ran taught me to love
     Taught me to hate to, hate in equal measure too
       I learned the sting of peoples hate 
          And learned the warmth of being loved

This race will come to end 
    And I, will I miss it wen it’s gone?
      To the bitter sweet memories I’ll always cling 
       As the end of this race I await.
