Run the Race #MondayBlogs

We are not finished
there has been no fanfare
we stumble or crawl
but we run the race

the gun set the start
the field separated
our hearts still pound
but we run the race

we cannot see the end
no ribbon or waiting crowd
no cheering voices urge us
but still we run the race

though we grow tired
though the road feels far too long
we fly forward on hope
and run the race – Caroline A. Slee
