When I start a race, <br />I must learn to face. <br />When adders come, <br />Shall I go run for a ladder? <br />Or shall I overcome it? <br /> <br />Shall my feet want to be down, <br />For my face to have a frown? <br />Or to run miles <br />To have these smiles? <br /> <br />Yes, I shall goal high than to be burnt coal! <br /> <br />I will fight the race than to fright! <br />I can rest in a forest <br />Even in a nest <br />Just to win that golden crown. <br /> <br />I will never stop <br />For I want the top <br />I will make my feet run on mountains, <br />To be at the finish line. <br /> <br />I will never dream low <br />But I will dream big to be no more at the last. <br />I don’t want to be always late <br />But to be early <br /> <br />I will overcome giants and I will not quit! <br />I will run the race and never quit! <br /> <br />Copyright © 2009 by Obed Dela Cruz <br /> <br />(To use this poem in a legal way, you could email me in princeobed_dc@yahoo.com but of course, you cannot own the poem because it violates some of the law of informations systems and copyright) <br /> <br />(July 21,2009; Marikina City; 5: 24PM)<br /><br />Obed dela Cruz<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/run-the-race-and-never-quit/
