A Celebratory Rondeau
A chapter in the book rondels and rondeaus
Against All Odds
by adewpearl
Against all odds we run our race each at his own God-given pace, be that pace swift as a gazelle or tortoise in its heavy shell, we run toward victory's embrace. The goals we set, the dreams we chase by limitations aren't erased, for in the effort we excel against all odds. Defeat's a word that has no place within a life that bears no trace of cowardice, so say farewell to doubts that deep within you dwell and run with gusto, grit and grace against all odds. |

As I am posting this, the memorial mass is being held for Eunice Kennedy Shriver, who founded the Special Olympics over forty years ago. This poem is dedicated to her, to all Special Olympians who run that race at their own pace, and to everyone who makes the effort to live life to the fullest, fueled by faith.
