The Smallest Of Them All

Runner, Runner

If I was a better runner

With longer legs and shorter breaths

I’d tie my hair back and lace my shoes

Just to run all the way to you

Counting cars and not the miles

I think I could ignore the pain in my legs for awhile

People would stop and stare

Almost like I was a Forrest Gump look-a-like

But I have a destination

I have my person

And the distance can not stop me

If only for a moment

Or a day

I’d lay in the hot Florida sun and share my laughter with you

The stories we would tell

Getting closer with each treasure and tale

Watching each other grow up and learn each day

And maybe someday

We could run together

Both of us trying to reach first place in our own little race

But for now

I will slowly make my way to you

Step by step

Stretching my tiny little legs as I can

You know I’m persistent

And I will be there as soon as I can

If only I was a better runner
