Let the wind train you
and the air strengthen
with every breath
listen to the ground,
your guide, speaking footsteps;
let it pull you toward your goal,
through the burn
and up the hills
and while your mind will tell you
it's too much,
let the finish line assure you:
If your heart is in it
you can make it!
with the clock not the enemy
but a proud and friendly coach,
be assured that at the sidelines
there are always cheering friends
sometimes unseen
and you're always
stronger than you think.
