Running the Mile

Started with a glance, then a stare, followed by a set of many reps
You began to walk towards me with slow cautious steps

You took a chance, the first step made, you inspired me to run a mile
Envisioning the end, cast out an embrace and smile

Behind each frown, behind each grin, a world of possibility lies
Oh what I’d give to make all your lows turn into highs

A friend, a supporter, a motivator, a comforter to me
To your kids a great father you continue to be

I imagine running together through fields of both flowers and thorns
Embracing that which makes us wear both halos and horns

As creative as dreams can be, could they turn into reality…
Manifesting our collective creativity?
