Life is a marathon,
A maze of magic and mystery,
On our quest to make our mark on history,
We’re sometimes troubled by the terrain,
It’s tough, but the aim remains the same,
The mountain top,
The podium,
Breaking through the tape at the end of the race,
In spite of the pain...

Keep Running - J. Ivy
