Running on Full

Today the glory of life shone upon her
She did not know how or why
She decided to take a run in his honor
To move between flashes of wind and sky

He could not run today, because of his eyes
Not his legs. He takes such good care
But you can’t control everything, he starts to realize
And at 70, you don’t even dare.

She wants to ask him, are you okay. Are you scared?
It’s not something you really can do.
So she will run with him sometime, a Cape morning shared
The hot sun, the flat road, and they two.
