Before we all head for the kiss-proof world
A few things need saying
I have loved me some late nights
And mornings with friends
Does anything else but such love
Last forever?
I have run for those who could not
Mary Nelle crumpled in a car near Lexington, TN
My father in the hospital in Lexington, KY
Margrethe off a Nebraska roof
Terry Fox ran with one leg
I struggle with two
Bannister: the human spirit is indomitable
Me: time is the runner behind us
Joy: named by a prophet, and although pain follows Joy
Remember please: The greatest Joy follows pain
You smile and teach us more
Joy ten, Sadness four
You can be the breeze at my back
You can be the wind this time
The kiss-proof world will wait
We’ll huddle just this side the gate
And as eager friends linger
Till the sun breaks through
Then with the light another chance
And this time, I’ll run for Joy
