Poem of the Day:

FIVE MILE WINK

Five miles steadyI am ready—Sneakers double lacedI will stick to my pace.Breathe in confidenceExhale doubtI will not back downI’m in the arena now—Resilience shining throughFight and courage tooMy legs charge with every strideMy arms glide at my sideBody, heart, mind in sync—I give a winkA secret I know for meTo run with joy and be freeI’m on the moveWith nothing to proveStrong like a motherI am no otherI am a runner
