You Will Glow

The audio is a recording of the poem of the day- Glowing. Feel free to read or listen.

Hi RWC! This poem I wrote a few days after I ran the 125th Boston Marathon in October 2021. I thought it would be cool to share this poem today to celebrate The Boston Marathon coming up this Monday, April 18!

I’m also running a free promotion on Amazon for my Run to Boston poetry book on kindle. Check it out here and share it with a friend. It’s free until Saturday, April 16.

Good luck Marathoners! You will glow!

Poem of the Day:

GLOWING

Finishing the Boston Marathon
You will glow
Light will shine from your head
And the tips of your toes
Your smile is contagious and passersby want to know
How did the race go?
How did you do?
It’s a great day to celebrate and everyone
Congratulates you!
Is it the unicorn?
The medal around your neck?
Could be
Or is it more the tradition, the history,
Boston Strong and the comeback
That connects us
The passion over fear
That brings us together
The light is spreading through the city
Connections being made
And sparks flying all around
We are glowing
Glowing
