The Marathon

Lithe bodies run along the street, 

the finest people you would ever want to meet.

Men and woman running for charity,

with some aged over seventy.

There is excitement in the air and the crowd is having fun,

it really makes me want to run.

People with so many amazing stories, tugging at our heart strings,

It's not who dares, wins.

Diversity is the order of the day

and people are selfless... it's just their way.

So many people coming together for a just cause,

with no time to pause.

It's just the thing we need to inspire the next generation.

To makes us a better nation.

Life shouldn't be about what we have got.

It should be about those who have not.
