Life is a marathon— <br />And that is a fact— <br />With hurdles, relays <br />And balancing acts. <br /> <br />Whether track and field <br />Or Uneven Bars— <br />It makes no difference <br />Where you are. <br /> <br />Wherever you go <br />Whatever you do, <br />Strive to make life <br />Work for you. <br /> <br />We must remember, <br />Ladies and gents, <br />Life is a marathon— <br />Not a sprint. <br /> <br />Defeat is painful, <br />But victory is sweet <br />With a chance for gold <br />To land at your feet.<br /><br />Walterrean Salley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/life-is-a-marathon-2/
