Run The Race And Never Quit Poem by Obed dela Cruz

When I start a race,
I must learn to face.
When adders come,
Shall I go run for a ladder?
Or shall I overcome it?

Shall my feet want to be down,
For my face to have a frown?
Or to run miles
To have these smiles?

Yes, I shall goal high than to be burnt coal!

I will fight the race than to fright!
I can rest in a forest
Even in a nest
Just to win that golden crown.

I will never stop
For I want the top
I will make my feet run on mountains,
To be at the finish line.

I will never dream low
But I will dream big to be no more at the last.
I don’t want to be always late
But to be early

I will overcome giants and I will not quit!
I will run the race and never quit!
