Run

Even if you didn't walk before

neither have you thought of 

winning any race

You don't have the courage
and strength to cover a mile
Your bones and muscles are feeble
Pain is also 

under your feet
wear a smile and run

Would you cease to walk
If the road 

is not adorned
expecting comfort
is not the trait of winners
The road seems quite ornated
to the spectators
but it has always been

rock-strewn for the runners

No one gets toughness
without being sedulous
It has never ever

happened by chance
Strength is not
an innate feature
but a reward
bestowed upon you
for your stance
