Run the Race

"Run the race, finish the course"

These are the words of the great Saint Paul

Though there are many ways to "run the race"

I will take his life as an example 

A life full of passion, wonder and love

Live your life passionately

Focus on the goal and not on the road

Rest when you must but keep your chin up

Life is an adventure so prepare your heart

And never be discouraged when the end is out of sight

Laugh out loud as you keep the pace

And never mind if you're not prepared , no one is!

Though life has its ups and downs, twists and turns

This adventure is precious and worth your time

Take it lightly and you will have fun

  

Love deeply and savor each day

Withhold nothing and keep on giving

Give all you have without reserve

You'll be surprised what awaits 

At the finish line.

This is the lesson you and I could learn from St Paul

Live this life with passion

Never forget to laugh, this lightens the burden

And if we love deeply and without reserve

Before we know it there it is... The  Finish Line!
