The Run

I love the days just going for a run Picturing the start line and hearing that gun The best day to go is a little drizzle of rain Your mind just wanders forgetting the pain It's great to be out and see the dogs on a walk You say good morning but no time to talk Your steps dodge puddles as you go along Not even thinking how far that you've gone Here comes a runner going so fast With a quick head bob they smile and pass That's a runners language saying enjoy your run Then the mist disappears and out comes the sun A rainbow appears and lights up the sky It's like seasons changing as each mile goes by So get out and run even just a mile or two Your body will thank you and your mind will too
