It has just begun,
The past I ran races, some lost and some won.
This race is different, the audacity I have to undergo the mission,
Endurance is what I need, and its wisdom.

I no longer require to come first,
Even if last I shall be.
Passing the finish line with all point collected,
I the greater result for me.

I need sustenance and reason to run,
I need purpose until the race is done.
When my eyes are dreaming and my cold body laid down,
Where my race has ended, it should benefit my children to come.

Carrying myself to my utmost limit is not only the key,
I need to survive the burn out on my feet and not on my knees.
Omniscience is my strength and it heals me further,
Not to win the race, later to endure it for longer.
