Running a 5K

Running is my new passion

Core engaged; shoulders, up back down

Slow & steady finishes the race

My feet moving to the music

Running makes me feel alive

Rhythmic breathing, heart pounding

My feet moving to the music

Streams of sweat dripping down

Rhythmic breathing, heart pounding

Pacing my stride to finish strong

Streams of sweat dripping down

Folks cheering along the way

Pacing my stride to finish strong

Fatigue says, "slow!"; my brain screams, "No!"

Folks cheering along the way

Exhilaration... I cross the line!

"Delightin' in This Day"

Everything delightin' in this day...

Breatheable beautiful, soft breeze flows midst

Fragile blades of grass gracefully wigglin'

Birds cheerfully chirp 'n call while

Soothing southern sun shimmers 'n sweetly shines

Soothing southern sun shimmers sweetly upon

Ants as they slow their frantic pace

Dragonflies zip, dart, hover midair in

Breatheable, beautiful, soft breeze blows

Everyone delightin' in this day...

Breatheable, beautiful, soft breeze among

Fine folks lingerin' and listen' to the latest

Landscapers leisurely cotton to their callin' while

Soothing southern sun shimmers sweetly soaks

Soothing southern sun shimmers sweetly as

Writers putting pen to paper pouring out words

University scholars sauntering along tunes hummin' while

Breatheable, beautiful, soft breeze whispers

"Everything 'n everyone...

Delightin' in this day!"
