The Tortoise, The Hare and The Finish line

Just a little take on the story. Something for Easter lol. Lover or hate??

Get ready, Get set, Go.......

Off you run away to find the finish line.

Fighting your way to win this race.

You start out fast and get faster.

So far ahead you take a rest.

You think I can close my eyes.

But what you didn't know; 

Was your opponent was not far behind.

Soon they were past you.

Quickly you leap up 

Running, Running as fast as you can.

You see the finish line just steps away.

But, alas you are too late.

You have lost this race 

Sitting in last place.

Making a very sad face.

For this victory you didn't get to taste.

The tortoise has beaten the hare.

Something that is rather rare.

But even if you start out slow

You can be the winner in the end.

Moral of this story: if you believe in yourself You can win any race.

Great moral, I have always loved that story. Slow and steady wins the race! And i must agree, if you hurry through thing you make mistakes and have to do it all over again. It is always best to take your time and get it right :) Very well done!!

belief is a powerful tool, it can create or destroy, when one discovers
how to use self empowerment, then success comes natural, your words
have an enhanced sense of inspired reason, and leaves the reader with
a feeling of overcoming adversity, you have talent, keep it up ^_^
