Quicken my pace
In this expeditious race
I thought I had all the answers
But now I am coming face-to-face
With a past I cannot erase
I am on the starting line
Waiting for a “begin race” sign
I trained a while
I hope I don’t feel behind
Now is the time to shine
Many distractions on the way
That cause me to go astray
I want that gold medal
I will run with ease today
And let results fall where it may
As I inch close to the end
I go around the bend
Feeling my adrenaline pumping
There is one messsge I want to send
I am a victorious companion
It isn’t about numbers or positions
Or coming up short in situations
But keep going no matter what
Follow your intuitions
Your deserve your celebrations
You are a winner
Even if have nothing for dinner
You are God’s masterpiece
Even if you wish you were thinner
Even if life is tough like a splinter
Even if you are sick in bed
Or crazy in the head
You are God’s number 1
Even if the rumors spread
With God, you are always one step ahead
