Light vest flashing bright

Hat with a light

Reflective vest with phone

Flashlight on, I’m in the zone

I got all the lights so I glow

A 50 minute run in the dark, go!

Roads clear though snow is coming

No matter, my mind-body humming

I’m alert to cars as they pass

In and out of driveways fast

Gas stations, stop signs

Do they even see me shine?

A truck speeds out of the lot

doesn’t bother to spot

Me running on the side

He zooms out in his ride

I’m flashing light as I run

Can’t they see me I’m like the sun

Oh well must have somewhere to be

I keep my eyes alert on the road see

A snowplow rumbles past

Gives a beep beep blast

I give a wave fast

I’m noticed at last!
