Poem of the Day:
Dream
To run the Boston Marathon
It was going to be great!
I was eager to run in 2003
Yet my body and mind didn’t agree
The pain took over
It consumed my days
I wanted to keep running
Yet I couldn’t find a way
The shame was rooted deep
Yet God had a plan
He gave me the strength to look inward
Face my fears and not hide
He never left my side
To follow my dream
I would need to let go
The burdens I was still carrying
Too many, I know
I held tight to courage
And began to unpack
My load getting lighter
As my runs were coming back
I will not give up on my dream
I am brave, strong, and free
I choose love
And connection is key
