As humans we are continually in a race

A race to grow up
A race to compete
A race to complete
A race against time

Animals race in the face of a storm

Farmers race to harvest their crops
We race around the world
Bus stops
Planes to catch
Appointments to keep

Our whole life seems to be a race

Suddenly we are older
We do not race as before
We begin to reflect

"Will it be slow and steady wins the race?"
