Track Athlete(s)

where our feet don’t touch the ground
and here we can fly, we don’t need wings
we are the ones who don’t mind a little sweat
the sacrifice of blood and tears is offered up
with no resistance, a small price to pay for success
the chance to do what others cannot, to be what they are not
feet don’t fail us, our daily prayer to God and He listens
we go for miles, for hours, for days, for weeks, for years, forever
any time, any weather, and we become stronger, we are fighters
fighting to be the first to the finish
but the last ones to give up
