Let's take a Recap
And reveiw each little Lap

See my life has been Great
but I fear death can no longer Wait

I can almost feel the Grace
that comes from beating life and winning this Race

I know this lap's my Last
and I hope it doesn't go too Fast

'Cause the race of life
isn't about finishing First
It's about gaining knowledge

through a mental Thirst.
