Run

How?

Furthest?

Fastest?

And with just one aim:
to leave the competition trailing behind?

Or stop, be kind,
help those who have fallen
get back on their feet?

Wave to the crowd perhaps?

Maybe say 'Hi, how are you?'
to those who cheer you on?

Listen to their life stories?

Smile when you hear the boos
from those who want you to lose?

And the prize,
whatever it is,
do your eyes have to be on it?

All the time?


Keep on running
