Run Strong, a Poem by Russ Sears on the Anniversary of the Boston Marathon Bombing
"Run Strong":
Run for my Money, run
towards my fears,
Run when I’m Hungry,
run from my tears.
Run with me Honey, run
with the years.
Run for my Living, run
towards the cheers.
Run On! Run Strong!
Just for the Day.
Just for the Way.
Run On! Run Strong!
For who knows some day
the Miles may just take you away.
Run for the Feeling,
run towards the pain,
Run when I’m Dreaming,
run from my cane,
Run with the Loving,
run with the sane.
Run for the Moving,
run to victory lane.
Run On! Run Strong!
Just for the Day.
Just for the Way.
Run On! Run Strong!
For who knows some day
the Miles may just take you away.
