The relay race



THE RELAY RACE

Life is a relay race
To run is the ultimatum
In every finishing point
We start again
The coverage ends
The cover changes
Sometimes head rises
Pray god and asks for eternity
Sometimes head downs
Fight with time to survive
Sometimes hopes for mountain
Dreams for sky
With a pair of wings to fly
However, time passes away on the shoulder
Sailing hour of thoughts retreat
Rain overs green fades away
Old one sleeps to chance the young
In every move a sea gull dives
For prey within time
Strom becomes weak
Restless time slips but
Flight and fight continue
To stretch the life
Without halt
The relay race continue
