Running For home

By Paul McCann

 

I’ve got two strong legs and one strong heart

I’m ready to run right from the start

a shot  was fired from the starting gun.

On the run , the race has just begun

 

Running for home , head up in the air ,

Finding something extra deep in there .

I’m showing them a clean set of heels

its really so amazing how it feels .

 

Doing my best to run a good race . .

Lengthening stride, picking up the pace ,

I’m running for home , out there alone

I’m running free now the bird has flown .

.

 

.

Your poem brings back memories of when I was young and fit. Now the only way I run is in my head. But it was great reading your poem, and I loved those last two lines...very energizing.

Same like myself Jrnifer . . I ran everyday sometimes befiore and after work . Loved the feeling of running through a parkland not far from where I lived , It's a memory now only that I penned .
