Do not run aimlessly

Words of caution, of advice
the example of Paul’s life
not to run aimlessly
with purpose, intent
running the race before us
the path Christ set on this earth
following our Master
in the way set for us
focused on the goal
the crown of eternal life
striving through the trials
ever following his light
