I just wrote this short poem for “you” today and you know who “you” are. Enjoy…
The Cheetah and Gazelle never friends shall they be.
For a Cheetah is a Gazelle’s natural enemy.
60 miles per hour is a Gazelle’s top speed,
But a Cheetah can reach 70 if it really feels the need.
Simple math says the Cheetah should always win the race,
For it can achieve a speed that’s at a much faster pace.
But alas 1-out-of-19 is the Cheetah’s chance to succeed,
For the Gazelle has on its side a thing that helps him more than just speed.
They both have different reasons why they have to run their race.
One is running to catch-up and the other is running from being chased.
Yes the Gazelles running for its life and the Cheetahs running for a meal.
If the Cheetah fails he misses dinner, but if the Gazelle fails he gets killed.
But when the starvation starts to loom from the Cheetah’s many failed tries,
The Cheetahs motivation changes dramatically and now they’re both running for their lives.
But still the Gazelle has yet another trick that seems to help it win,
It Zigs & Zags from left to right and escapes time-and-time again.
The Cheetah must move-on to a different venue to find a weaker prey,
The Gazelles agility with speed and motivation helps it live another day.
So what’s your motivation today, what helps you to overcome?
What gets you up bright and early to the rising of the sun
Are you running from depression or a past that’s let you down?
Stay strong and keep on running and one day you’ll receive your crown.
Don’t let your past bully you into a mindset that thinks you’re done.
Get on out there again today and run, Run, RUN!!!
