Just a boy

Out of puff and overweight,but yet still I ran, stones in palm kept squeezing them, took away the pain!
Through slam gate and oe'r the mountain, past the burning dump,
sweating swearing hoping yearning how my heart does thump! There's a fellow up ahead he's swaying to and fro,
gotta get ahead of him gotta have a go!
Can't be last through the school gate can't be laughing stock!
Boy but if I came in first, headmaster'd have a shock!
Always ridiculing me, always having fun
at my cost and at my hope, but when this day is done.
Gonna win this cross country,
I'm gonna win this race,
just to see the look upon this so called 'teacher's' face!
As I near the finish, as my race is won
I look and see the face that knew all that I had began. He KNEW I had it in me, He KNEW I would excell, for this was part of his great plan, and boy he knew it well!
His smile as I strode past the line, his eyes they held the tale,
He wanted me to win that day,
He knew, no way, I'd fail!
And so, to all my fellow chums
who go to school this day,
Don't get despondent at the things you suffer on the way,
You never know what friends you have until things get up tight,
And sometimes you will be suprised at who,is knowing wrong from right!
