Bay To Breakers
12k, 7.46 mile race from the SF Bay to the Pacific Ocean
They start at the Bay near downtown San Francisco,
And they 'Break" at the great highway by the sea
Oftentimes, exiting my front door was just a notion
The ocean was blocks from where they started,
And the chilly waters of the Pacific never departed
May times we would simply sit in the sand and stare
Sometimes, the kids played in the sand in the cool air
The 'Breakers' broke near my door steps
and headed East, North, and South.
Oh what relief they always felt
with the increase of their self-worth
And I was pleased that they had ran
and finished their 12K race
