This Lap of the Race

In the race of our lives we have today,
or rather this moment, and nothing more.
Yesterday is past, and while we will in all probability
move forward to tomorrow, and should prepare for it,
when it comes we can face it with a song only
if we have surrendered the control, the outcome,
and if we pick the path of principles of our program.
If our surrender is real, dips will be rare
and the norm will be to surge to joy.
