WE’RE IN A RACE

We’re In A Race, my Friend,

So take your Time, as each Day Starts; when your Moments, actually Begin,

Learn to Measure, each of your Steps, while they are being Walked:

For you are to Understand, the Goals, you hold Inside,

Then let each, of your Days; be Experienced, in Spiritual Might,

Let each Day, have a Meaning; as you Live, your Life—-

Keep the Right Attitude, as you go About,

Know that Things, sometimes; will Fall, and come Apart,

Know that Change, will sometimes, suddenly Unfold:

So be Prepared, in All, you Do,

For Life, is a Mystery; laid out for Every Person, to Face its Truths,

So take your Time, because on your Journey; you must Renew, your Thoughts—-

Yet, the Best way; on this Earth, to Move,

Is to have Control, of your Mind; Understanding the Choices, that you Choose,

For you to Realize, the Path, on which you Walk:

For We Are In A Race, my Friend,

And how, we Treat Others; will Determine, if we Win,

So Treat Others, as You, would also Like—-
