Beata Agustin Poet Acrostic

Running Delights

Running* with zest gives me great triumphant feeling
Uplifts my spirit along radiant merriment
Negates bad mood to welcome good tidings
Nurtures appreciation for nature
Influences friends for wellness’ bonding
Nourishes acquaintance-growth of cheerful glow
Gladdening exercise-rigor with bliss
Settles weight-problem against diet-caused angst!

De-stressing running spree is a blessing to me…
Empowering midst discomfort’s pain
Lowering my blood pressure I’m grateful of
Improving my immune system indeed
Giving me great aerobic work-out
Hoisting my health upward victory level during check-ups
Turning gloom toward hearty laughter thrill
Setting faith for jubilant thanksgiving to God!

*1Corinthians 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

Caren Krutsinger January 30, 2019 at 6:44 AM I love this poem! LOVE IT! I am going to live vicariously through you this morning, pretending I am running. In actuality, I dare not open the door with my asthma which is stressed out and exacerbated by cold air. With windchill it is below 20 degrees in Kansas City today!
