The Human Race

I'm a member of the human race What a race it's been I'm not sure where I'm going Don't even know if I'll ever win Sixty-six years I've been in this race Just when I think I'm starting to gain Life presents another uphill climb On and on I push through pleasure and pain I sometimes think it's just a test To see how much I can handle At times it causes me to melt down Just like a burning candle Just when I think nothing else can go wrong Another problem hits me in the face I feel everyone is waiting to judge me Will I handle it with honor and grace I'm a member of the human race And I'm here to say Being a member of the human race I wouldn't want it any other way 11-06-09/RjH
