Run for my bones

Run for my heart

Run for my two

Children so I

Don’t scream & shout.

Run for my mind

Run for my Soul

Run to free myself

When I might lose control.

Run for my body

Run to think clear

Run to write words

To remember each year.

Run to push limits

Run to dig deep

Run to stay present

So I don’t fall asleep.

Run to find joy

Run to find me

Run to keep going

When it’s too hard to see.

Run to just run

Run to just be

Run to be human

God’s gift to me.

Tell me what keeps you lacing up your sneakers?
