Life’s Events

 Life’s Events

 

Life is not a track event

In which you run the span

In the shortest time you can

 

Life is a field event

to try your best present

in a few attempts meant

Your time is set as it may

Twenty-four hour to a day

Waste it, and it won’t delay

The end for the game to play

Burn the midnight candle late

Or even at both ends, and you may hate

to end sooner than the game can wait

So take your time and play it fair, dear

Be higher, stronger, longer and happier

  • ANGELA & BRIAN

    BRIAN HERE ~ Good evening AROBOT - Great Poem. I once worked @ a PE College and there is whole World of difference between TRACK & FIELD ~ Just as there is between Swimming & Diving. In Track & Swimming You are in group and beating the GROUP is the issue. You can winn Olympic Gold in a SLOW TIME as long as you win the FINAL ! But in FIELD (& Diving) its You against the World & the World Records ! You need to Jump further & higher and throw things further and execute the perfect DIVE ! In my experience *That is just how LIFE is* Thnaks for the analogy !

    Blessings & Peace & Joy to You & Yours !
    Love ~ Brian & Angela 🧡🤍💙🤍🧡

    Yes so true, in life you have the time to enjoy it all, there is no need to race through it.
