The Race

There are those that get all the glory

Those whose names will be at the forefront of the story

Those that thousands will look at and consider champions

Not to be doubted, only respected

There are also those at the back of the race

Try as they might they can’t seem to get to where they wish to be

Many who also just give up

Those we all write off as a hopeless case

But it’s likely once they were ahead and winning in the race

They heard the same promises as anyone else

They felt victory was in the grasp

Only to be kicked down and left with no more broken dreams to chase

So many who reached the final lap

Only to see no one was there to cheer them on

And with it any reason to finish long gone
