It is said that slow and steady wins the race,

In the race for you heart I’ll make sure to keep that pace.

If we move too fast, the race may abruptly end,

There is no victor; the chance to win your heart is over before it begins.

For history proves that the swift endure the most pain and devastation,

And the ending comes as a result of failure and tribulation.

The obstacles faced come so quickly they are difficult to manage,

Eventually stopped in our tracks, the lead is lost and there is no advancement.

Keeping the pace slow yields the greatest reward,

The path to the finish line is not easy; the effort required is more.

Hurdles met are trivial and less of a distraction,

An open mind, open heart, and patience are keys in the plan of action.

So in this race for you heart I’ll make sure to keep a solid pace,

Here’s to hoping that slow and steady REALLY wins the race.
