Your Very Own Race

Your Very Own Race

Never mind the notion, which the author writes.
Believe yourself, allow your sense, will tell you wrong from right.

There’s no such thing as experts, and everyone must search.
For truth, for knowledge, best to decide, what your beings worth.

Don’t be tempted by the fate, others choose for you.
Be honest, show compassion, and join the chosen few.

your life is short, you see that now, so each and every day.
Know your value, be yourself, let honor guide your way.

Know of yourself, your quiet mind, and be the best you can,
When all is done, and you moved on, you’ve won the race you ran.
