          HUMAN

Run for my bones
Run for my heart 
Run for my two
Children so I 
Don’t scream & shout. 

Run for my mind 
Run for my Soul 
Run to free myself
When I might lose control. 

Run for my body 
Run to think clear  
Run to write words
To remember each year. 

Run to push limits 
Run to dig deep
Run to stay present 
So I don’t fall asleep. 
 
Run to find joy 
Run to find me 
Run to keep going 
When it’s too hard to see. 

Run to just run 
Run to just be 
Run to be human 
God’s gift to me. 

Tell me what keeps you lacing up your sneakers?
