Bent waisted he ran a few steps at a time he ran he was older frail yet he ran I sat there on the beach watching oceans flow until I saw him running towards me I couldn't take my eyes from him Beauty was he that ran I wanted to run with him yet to do so would ruin what he ran for I watched him go by stopping every few seconds knowing that he would finish because he ran __________________________________________ I was on the beach last night and there was some kind of beach run going on. This man was beautiful in his quest for accomplishing and not giving up, no matter how long it took...I wanted to breath his exhaled breath for just a taste of strength.. |
