Don't Stop The Chase

Don't stop the chase until your race is won

Fight and strive on while you still have the light

Bring honour to your name, before you're done



Our days are numbered under this sun

Where weak men stumble and fall out of sight

Don't stop the chase until your race is won



When the light fails and your strength is gone

Others must tend the bright torch in the night

Bring honour to your name, before you're done



Take a care with children, make the race fun

They'll tend your flame, memories alight

Don't stop the chase until your race is won



One smile dispels darkness, outshines the sun

Laughter and kind words, can banish the night

Bring honour to your name, before you're done



A homily, my villanelle, in fun

Written honestly and not meant as slight

Don't stop the chase until your race is won

Bring honour to your name, before you're done
