the Run

Life is a Marathon
Not a sprint...
It takes time and energy,
and still more time.
when our Muscles begin to ache
We wish we could just
hurry it all up
and get to
the next checkpoint...
To take a break
Quench a long awaited thirst
but it will be there when You
get there..
it will not leave or change...
To quicken the process is
to lose its point
There is strength earned with each passing mile...
Knowledge in each step
forward
(Or small stumble back)
Move on
Think not of when you will arrive
but of the scenery
that surrounds you
While you get there
