The Race

http://www.reflectiobsbymichelleyee.wordpress.com http://forums.familyfriendpoems.com/michelleyee Everyone is running in a race called life There are many people competing with you all the time Everyone’s trying to climb the ladder of success Everyone keeps on running, there is just no rest Sometimes it’s hard when someone stabs you on the back But somehow we’ll all find a way to continue to stay on track There are many obstacles that we face along the way But God’s strength is always for us to see us through each day Mistakes and failures are things we are bound to face There is just no avoidance; it is all part of the game Sometimes we get tired of running all the time And we feel like someone has just moved the finishing line We may be tempted to stop when we fall and start to cry But we must tell ourselves to stay strong and give another try Perseverance and faith is the key to keep us going on God’s power and strength is what keeps us strong God’s approval is what we all should seek All our success and failures we lay them at His feet Taking none of the glory for our selfish pride Recognising success as gifts of grace and not our rights One day we will all finish the race Then we will all get to see Him face to face To claim the victor’s crown that was prepared before time But not until we finish running this race called life Written by Michelle Yee
