Short Running The Race Poems

 My love
Was like
Running a race
But on a treadmill
I will always keep running
Keep loving
Even though
I will never
Reach my destination ...

Winning every race, you just may not;
What’s important is giving all you got.

In running the race, you must never give up;
The will to go on, never let anything interrupt....

Keep your eye on the goal.
Don’t look either left or right.
If you are running life’s race to win,
You must keep the goal in sight.

Don’t let your eyes wander to others
To see if they are ahead of you.
Just set your sights on Heaven,
And keep on running- God will see you through....

Yield
To God
For strength’s grace
Vanquishing foes
By His granted armor and truth’s weapon.

Championing what’s right, be strong in the Lord*
Running life's race
Serving well
With faith’s
Might!

*Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

J-ust reach the journey's end, 
O-pen your soul to fervor; 
S-topping from running the race
I-s making a big
E-rror.

S-o reach the journey's end, 
O-r face a serious consequence; 
L-ove, faith, and hope
L-ead you to crown in silence.
E-arly Wednesday tenth of January, 
S-tart sailing against the wind; 
T-riumph is in sight, 
R-each the journey's
E-nd....

We all say that times have changed,
The world has changed,
But that is because,
We have changed!

All of us are racing against time,
Running the race of success,
Running selfishly,
For happiness, contentment and luxury!

It’s time to wake up,
To Change the world once again,
And work,
To build up a ‘Human Race’,
Who will run,
The race for Peace and Harmony!...

Love at first sight,
How to explain,
The glimmer in your eye,
The shine on your face,
The heart but leaps,
Like it’s running a race,
The electricity,
Jumps thought we are yards away,
So carefully we react,
To see if it’s true,
That feeling,
Was just between me and you,
From across the crowded room,
There you stand,
Destine for me to be your man.

What can you do?
when things can't be done,
your running a race that's
already won.

The ace in the hand
hanging loose,
the look in the eye
when known,
you just hold a duce.

What can you do
when things can't be done,
pick up your cards,
cut and run?

What would you do
to heal this pain,
is love always going to be,
for gambler,for the thrill,
or the game?...

K-eep on running the race, 
A-t the perfect level of energy; 
Y-ou're almost at the finish line, 
E-arly twenty-first of January.

M-ay you keep on running the race, 
A-t the fastest velocity; 
N-ever let your guard down, 
A-im at the speed of highest degree.
H-ope, faith, love, and trust
A-re needed to receive God's grace; 
N-o reason to doubt His vow, keep on running the race....

Looking tragedy in the face
while running life's race.
Make sure to keep steady pace
as you pass the stream full of dace.
Streaming behind a shawl of lace
do not sniff the  handkerchief of mace.
Watching deer disappear without trace
as they vanish into the mists of space.
When finally you reach your base
examine carefully your case. 
Now stare tragedy in the face
you have won life's race....

My tongue I stick out
A large strawberry dangles out
My strawberry tongue now split
I scream, is it a dream?
My hearts pace is like running a race
Sweating in the middle of the afternoon
I pop my head into the fridge
A large scoop of ice-cream topped
With strawberries with a tongue 
hanging out on a dish!
I scream, no sound comes out
I cannot feel my tongue
My mouth full of soft pink ice-cream!

Anger was flaming in her eyes,
Cheeks were burning red,
Nose was flying in the Air,
Ears were stretching strength,
Feet was jumping on the floor,
And legs were dancing in heat,
Heart was running in race,
And body was absorbing smoke.
Waterweeds were flashing on skin,
But Air was waving in lore.
Earth was breathing normally,
Sunrays were hot and cool.
Dark clouds were passing by smooth,
And flowers were tearing a side....

I was locked up in a dark corner 
Stripped all my medals and honor 
Subjected to a life of a loner 
It was a life changing phase
A memory that’s impossible to erase
I felt like I saw the devil straight in the face
But thanks to my grace 
I am no longer running a race
The truth finally surface
And my life is now in Place 
The little I have is what I embrace
People I no longer chase
If it’s distance they want I give them space...

Entering your life she emanates great fun 
She spreads her glory like the celestial sun
She gifts her love forever in abundance
Often she is left in ignorance and redundance
Despite all odds she puts up a brave face
Meeting all ends she is running a race 
WOMAN, she exemplifies beauty and grace 
At times she wants her own little space 
A bow to all women on this very special day 
God give them strength and forbearance I pray

Closely watch as those hardened hearts
Solid as a rock blood yet still pumps flows
Stagnated loves frozen disguise as beating fawns 
Ringing like metal clanging iron bells
Open eyed blinded open mouth speaking lies

Who am I to have grace
Humanity grace compliance 
Running destination race
Ain't no denial,  just faith placed

Harden heart softening up
Once hard as diamond and gold

I need to find my days back.
I enjoyed my taste and delicious track.
It’s hard to say, I can stay,
Nowhere, anywhere, anywhere.
Time is passing and never realised,
I want to live what’s human pride,
I want to grow, checking my size,
Walking and talking, running a race,
My target is only to find an easy trace.
Here and there, there and here,
what's mine looking everywhere? 
But ignoring others and hesitating to share.
Doing wrongs and talking about fair....

i am in, horrible space, i cut the jack, and reveal the ace, i'm so tired out, like i'm running a race, i just want to be, alone in my place. my mind is mixed up, like tangled shoe lace, i'm fighting a war, so hand me my mace, life's a marathon, i run my own pace, why do you care, about the ugliest face? my heart is locked up, its locked in a case, surrounded by soldiers, in an impenetrable base, they told my to run, so i gave it a chase, and now i am gone, without any trace....

Am getting tired of running this race
God is refusing to offer me his good grace
I feel as though the whole world is on my case
I can do with more time and a little space
Everything I do feels like a big disgrace
I need to find a peaceful place , where I can be loved and embrace
I need to forgive and erase
All the pain, I chose to love and chase 
It's time I learn to replace everything evil, I chose to embrace
This life should not be a waste
I must learn to face all of my mistakes...
