I run to remember that I can run
no matter how old I am
running is freedom
freedom to move
my body
to breathe
to feel
the air on my skin
and the sweat on my body
the waking up of my muscles
to remember I can run
I am alive
Running
gives me the freedom to be
in this glorious body
no matter what my age,
my shape, or
challenge I may or may not face
I chant this mantra
in my mind
and match it to the cadence of my steps as I run
I am free to be me
I am free to be me
I am free
I am free
I am free to be me
I am free to be me
I am free to be me
I am a sovereign being
of light and sound
I remember who I am and why I came
to be around
to celebrate
life and all that it has to offer
The peace that running brings to the breath
the body
the mind
freedom in owning this body
of light and sound
I run because
of the child within me
wants to run
I run because
I am a child
a daughter
a sister
a friend
an aunt
a mother
a mother-in-law
a grandmother
Rosie runs alongside of me
as do my Angels
my loved ones in heaven
and my spirit guides
all join in this run of freedom and joy
as I scamper
trot
and sprint to the
beating of my heart
I run to remember
that I can run
