A Runner poem


This is a poem from an older runner. She explained to me it was this poem that made her decide to live her life to the fullest. To her, that includes running.

60 Years have passed so sweetly

since I married you that day

and I thought I'd never leave you

yet, perhaps I can not stay

If Circumstance should part us;

for I'd never choose to leave;

then know that I'll be watching you

my love, my sweet, believe

I'll be with you in the garden

where we took our twilight walks

My heart will linger near you

where we'd have our morning talks

I'll be waiting for the moment

and I'll greet you by and by

then we never will be parted

and our hearts will never cry

But until that joyful moment

when we'll never be apart

live with all joy and vigor

that is in a young girls heart
