The Right To Run

~My Dear Man~

There's never been a kinder soul who's heart's made with finer gold
No eyes, but yours, I'd care enough to dream into
Never a soul to shine with your magnitude like a sequenced sky
For, no one holds a candle next to you...

~My Dear Man~

I've been many places and I have been many things
Lord knows I've lived a lifetime down on my knees
I've certainly known the rain but you've taken this pain
The moment, sweet moment, you believed in me....

~My Dear Man~

All my life I've been running as far as I could
But, never a destination I cared to stay
And, now, the urge is within to go as fast as then
Only, my right to run is anywhere but away...

~My Dear Man~

Cause, you are that light in the distance ahead for me
I wear such honor when my minds image finds your face
I believe I breathe to the rhythm of your beating heart
I've never ran, My Dear Man, with this much grace...

~My Dear Man~

It's been absolutely everything I never knew it could be
This once in a lifetime journey I've been running through
My right to run became my most awesome mile
The second, sweet second, I believed in you...

~My Dear Man~

I love, I do, so genuinely from this heart of mine
I'd like to think you're my reward for withstanding the storms
I've found heaven here resting in the palms of your hands
Now, I know, I just know, what I've been running for...

~My Dear Man~

You must know you can never ever care too much
Never be sorry for what God places before your eyes
I know it was just your will to chase the chill from wounded ones
But, don't judge yourself to where your heart may lie...

~My Dear Man~

You can never be too blessed or too rich with life's gifts
There's nothing wrong with running if your heart's part of it
You have the right to run, My Dear Man, if you choose
Just forgive me, if at night, I still hold onto you...

Congratulations Sauni @~~~>~~


What a beautiful poem of tribute to mark your 1, th milestone.  You've written so many fantastic poems and supported so many others. I am hoping to be able to say this all again after another thousand and you are still writing words of love to that wonderful man of yours!

Sauni, congratulations on your 1000th post. And you've hit a grand slam with this beautiful poem. I especially love the lines,

"I've been many places and I have been many things
Lord knows I've lived a lifetime down on my knees"

This sounds like me.

Your words flow like sweet honey. Thank you for sharing this wonderful little piece of your soul.

((Sauni))

Congratulations on 1000 posts, Saunni

You certainly reached your milestone in style...with a very lovely poem.

You can never be too blessed or too rich with life's gifts
There's nothing wrong with running if your heart's part of it
You have the right to run, My Dear Man, if you choose
Just forgive me, if at night, I still hold onto you...

This touched my heart
