40

When does life begin? The day you turn a certian age? Or the day you stop waiting for a starting gun and running?

They say life begins at forty, but I don't believe that's true

My life begins when I say it begins

My life begins with you

 

Through tattered remains of plans that were, remnants of failed ideas

Endeavour must still continue

We must always confront our fears

 

Life begins and life ends, and wastes not in the time between

There is no time to stand and wait

The feet of the runner must be keen
