There I was about to begin this all important race,
I'm so nervous, my heart has changed its pace,
The referee blows the whistle,
I take to my heels, posed to win the gold title,
With the swiftness of the cheetah, and the vision of the eagle,
I am in the lead, victory in my head, I am flying like the eagle,
But then in a twinkling of an eye, from the crowd, someone yells my name,
I turn to look, I was "side-tracted",so I stumbled and fell; now the tale is not going to be the same,
I have been over-taken,
My hope dashed, my vision blurred, my confidence dampened,
I am never going to win this title,
I have just lost the battle,
But wait!
The referee comes to me,
Taps me by the shoulder, picks me up and says, "son this victory was meant to be",
Arise and dust yourself for the race is not over, the battle is not finished, the title cannot be awarded until you win,
This is your victory and you must run till you win,
For no matter how many times you fall,
Your name, the master will still call,
For it is not over until God says it is over,
Child of God, it is not over until you win and cross-over,
It is not over until you rise to the top and pass-over,
So hold on, because this victory is your destiny,
And winning is a sure reality.
