Winning The Race

The "now" generation is speeding ahead
Without enough thought to wisdom foresaid.
A rich heritage should not be ignored.
This is an error we cannot afford.

Good heritage brings the balance we need,
Instilling wise pace for how to proceed.
If we rush forward without wise perspective
We later may wish we'd been more reflective.

"A little bit slower" might be a good pace
To really win well, whatever the race!!
Pausing to pray before we rush on
Ensures we are ready to "carry the baton".

"Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counselors there is safety."
Proverbs 11:14 KJV
