The Race

The Race.

 

You Don’t Decide When

The Race Starts or When

The Race Will End

But

You Can Control How

The Race Is Run.

                      • Cheeky Missy

                        Forsooth, good Sir. Begins to remind me of my late father's injunction to, "enjoy the ride! The journey is half the fun of getting there..." whether or not that is applicable. Beautifully rendered with a delightfully haunting poignancy. Thank go for sharing.
