The Finishing Line

The race has already begun,

And we're all on a run.

Never mind if there was a false start,

Give this last lap your very best shot.

Soak life like a sponge, sip it like wine,

Before we reach the finishing line…

With every passing day and night,

The tougher gets the sprint, the fight.

Alas, it's late but it's never too late,

Why fritter away hours in regret, in hate.

The time here is precious, yours & mine.

Before we reach the finishing line…

The track is ready for hurdles and dashes,

Take a giant leap before turning into ashes.

Tighten the fist on the baton called life,

Run like Usain Bolt, and win the strife.

The missing piece of jigsaw is visible,

It's the right time to turn the table.

Watch every symbol, read every sign,

Before we reach the finishing line…
