Racecourse Poem by Bernard F. Asuncion

R-acecourse given by God
I-s so difficult to finish;
Z-eal, faith, hope, and love
A-im to make doubt diminish.
L-ong racecourse has made
Y-our heart brave and strong;
N-ever fear the horizon, let not your own life go wrong.

R-acecourse set before you
E-ndorses priceless reward;
S-aturday December thirtieth,
P-atiently go on moving forward.
E-arnestly reach your goal,
C-omplete the distance with full force;
I-f triumphant you shall smile
A-t the end of the racecourse.
