Slow and Steady

Ready, Set, Go!

It’s just a race,

Don’t know how much longer I can take,

Life moving so fast,

Can’t see what’s moving past,

Need to slow down before I hit the ground.

Can’t keep up the paste like the rabbit did in the race,

Must be like the turtle,

Who was moving slow and at times nocturnal,

Slow and steady will win the race,

But right now it must be at a high fly rate.

Beating so fast heart about to explode,

This emotion inside is hard to hold.

Thought of joy that’s hard to keep inside,

Man how a kid must feel when he sees their prize.

Eyes light up like a kid in a toy store,

Running around like I just had the whole candy store.

Feeling so fly I could fly with the kites,

Feeling so calm like a walk through a meadow,

This feeling I can’t keep inside,

Wonder what would happen if I let the butterflies outside,

They are flapping their wings waiting for the cue,

Or when will my courage be past due.

Must be like the turtle and take it slow,

Because if I move fast my change might blow.

Slow and steady will win the race,

I just hope that I can keep pace.
