she runs

she started a journey

of discovery

in part to belong

and in part to break free

but now she's becoming

the best she can be

when she runs

she's a beautiful mystery

no one can understand

lovely as any woman

and strong as any man

never tell her she can't

'cause she'll show you she can

when she runs



she'll run to the fullest

never just in part

and if her legs grow weary

she'll run with her heart

'cause she'll always finish

anything that she starts

when she runs

with passion in her lungs

and fire in her feet

she takes step after step,

to compete to complete

til she crosses the line

to taste victory sweet

when she runs


she's courage and drive

and determination

she pure inspiration

and raw motivation

to a face in the crowd, or a passerby

who stands in awe and wonders why

she runs

To every "she" that runs with me. Thank you.
