Entering The Race

Never give up!

The gun sounds

Its time to start,

Time to enter the race

One foot in front of the other,

Keep pushing,

Keep moving,

Its too late to turn back now

Keep up,

Stay steady,

You wanted change 

And it started

Once you entered the race,

Time to take back 

Everything that slipped through your fingers,

Everything that's left you in the back of the pack,

Training all your life to get where you are now

Finally at the finish line...

Sweet, Sweet, Victory!

Author's Note

Never give up and never give in to the things people say.. just keep on running until you reach the finish line.

Nice so sweet short and simple with satisfaction. Wonderful job and so strong of a poem in simple words to say no matter what when you start something life never give up but, keep going for what awaits and reach that finish line feeling complete victory. Well done and keep up the excellent poems.

All that takes part in a race keeps their eyes focused on the prize. Love the way you used this fact

Oh to be young again...
I love your story here. As I've aged, I find that life is a series of 'finish lines', one thing always blending into another.

thanks for an uplifting poem.

That is right never give in to those that say you can't, in fact that is usually when I step up and prove to them that they are wrong!
