when i ran track

when i ran track:
i was the one way in the back:

i always tried my best:
but i never beat the rest:

i wasnt that fast in the race:
many times i finished last place:

but i kept running all the same:
i was proud jungers was my name:

i never quit you know:
even i was kinda slow:

i dreamed of winning the race:
but could never keep up the pace:

i still kept up the fight:
to win the time was not yet right:

so now with years gone by:
i have a chance to again try:

through johhny my son:
i have a chance again to run:

johnny can run so fast:
everyone else he will pass:

im so proud of my son:
all the races he has won:

ill stand by his side:
and watch him run with pride:
