Angels Run

Poem of the Day

Brindsley cruising to the finish

My son ran a 5K last Saturday too! And I loved the conversation he shared with me.

“Hey mom, there was an Angel behind me helping me in the race”. Brindsley’s smile was as wide as the front door.

“Oh really! That’s awesome buddy, tell me all about it.”

“I was running behind some adults and I didn’t know how to get around them. I heard someone from behind me say, just squeeze between them and find a gap. It was like she read my mind, it was my Angel mom!”

“Oh yes, Brindsley! Angels are running with us, I’m so glad she helped you.”

My heart is still full from last Saturday’s race and a win of mine for this week. Not only did my children have fun and finish the race, but they witnessed Angels—they are gaining evidence that they are never alone—there is kindness and good all around.

Poem of the Day:

          Angels Run

Angels run 
I believe they do
I’ve witnessed 
Some in races  
It’s true! 

Always there for others 
Cheering from behind 
Or carrying a runner
to the finish line.
 
My son ran a 5K
He experienced it too!
He said he heard an
Angel behind him— 
Coaching him along
when he didn’t know
what to do— 
just squeeze between them, find a gap

She was there
to encourage him too 
It’s okay— Go, you’re doing great! 
Brindsley picked up his pace
He didn’t wait. 
She eased his mind
His confidence shined  

And this mother runner 
was happy to behold 
that her son got to run 
with an Angel— 
He was never alone.
