The way to win a race
                                                                ­                                                                 You have to start somewhere
                                                       ­ There has to be somewhere to begin
There may be checkpoints along the way
                                                             ­                                    Hurdles and Speed Bumps
                                                          ­       Granted--
No one said it would ever be easy
                                                            ­                                     No one ever promised that you wouldn't sweat But shouldn't everyone at least have a cheering section?
                                                       ­    Someone to chant your name
People to sing your praises
                                                                ­                                                                 ­                              In the end
All
                                                              th­at
                   really
                                                          ­                             matters
                                                         ­                                                                 ­                            is
                                  ­                 that
            you
                                                     won
                                                             ­                             your
                               ­                                                                 ­                                      own
race
                  ­                                   *No matter who kept moving the finish line.
Be kind. In a rotten mood and wanted to write something. I may go back and change things.
