Running

I am a runner and some people

Think I should not be one .

I try to prove them wrong  .

I have stepped out of my home

And greet the day with my

Special step by step rhythm

Of my feet .

Some people ask if I run with head phones ?

I do not .

I find it better off having my daily

Conversation with my loved ones

Especially God .

These morning runs have become

My special prayer room 

And I am thankful for this quiet time

With God  .

My chats with my loved ones  and God

Range from prayer for family members

And friends and talks with family

And friends who are not here these days

But I still ask for guidance and direction

For my life .

My friends and family and God

Are always listening to me

As the dawn is breaking around me .

I know I can run , sweat , pray and cry

And nobody but God can tell the difference

When I run for I will always be in my prayer room

And nobody can judge me

Or laugh at me or say no you can not do that .
