A Runner's Life Poem by Maddy Rose

At the first glimpse of sunlight,
We hit the trails,
There are no rules to follow,
No barriers or rails,
Wind through the woods or race across the track,
The sun to your face,
And the wind at your back,
With a team you love or a friend to care,
Running can take you anywhere,
There is no limit to what you can do,
There is nothing holding you back,
You have to believe in you,
In a runner's life there is no normal,
There is no same,
There is no quitting,
It's not a game,
In a runner's life there is love and respect,
Dreams and compassion,
In a runner's life there is no end,
To what can be waiting around the bend...
