Waiting at the finish
 |
| Mile 26, almost there |
in your memorized stride
I feel I own it
Nothing on your face
in distance
in distance
But joy!
Wait! it wasn't a smile
something more in the lift of your being
The victorious fist raised
as banner of achievement
Closer, closer
with movement of the core
and other fluid parts
meeting in agreement
Satisfying my patience
Satisfying my patience
I know now
You have done well
Shall we celebrate?
I need not ask |
| So proud of our own real life hero. |
