Life is a marathon— br And that is a fact— br With hurdles, relays br And balancing acts. br br Whether track and field br Or Uneven Bars— br It makes no difference br Where you are. br br Wherever you go br Whatever you do, br Strive to make life br Work for you. br br We must remember, br Ladies and gents, br Life is a marathon— br Not a sprint. br br Defeat is painful, br But victory is sweet br With a chance for gold br To land at your feet.
