The Tortoise or the Hare or...

The tortoise and the hare,It’s a story that I heard From a child.And I have tried both.I have raced for the finish line.And I have done my best to be steadyIn the endless pursuit of more.But the race itself seems to implyThat what I have is not enough,That I must rely upon my wits,My inward tortoise or my hare.But what if I am already rich And do not need the prize?What if it’s enough To be rich inside my mind?And what if every little thing I needAn unseen hand, had promised to supply.Well, then that would be a different story, wouldn’t it.
