Dear Runner;

Dear Runner;

In the distance, hear me laughing

        I’m neither ahead nor behind 

In the shadows, see me beckoning

        Spurring on your open mind

On the wind, feel me calling

        Urging you along

Just like the trees, I stand near

        Assuring that you belong

More determined than your alarm

        I poke and prod you awake

Unlike your snooze button

        No excuse will I take

I am full of pride

        I contain no fear

I love adventure

        The new frontier

I’m as loving and kind

As a mother’s embrace

I’m as thoughtful and provoking

As your knotted shoelace

I am your hopes

        Your running inspiration

I cling to your dreams

        To your perspiration

If you should seek to hold me

        Soon you will know

Just how fast and quick

        I can set your heart aglow

Sincerely;

Your inspiration….
