I Wanna Run
Written by Grace Atherton on June 22, 2023…
Days after my second of two wrecks when I knew I would have to rego through physical rehab. Today I am blogging it (as I originally had hoped I would) almost a year later for my birthday (May 13, 2024). Grateful I can finally do what was only a desire when I wrote this poem.
I wanna run through a field of wildflowers,
I wanna smell the fragrance of nature’s perfume,
I wanna see a thousand shapes and colors of every hue…
I wanna hear the wind as it blows through the grass,
I wanna feel the path beneath my feet…
Blazing a trail through open spaces,
I wanna run through a field of wildflowers.
What do you wanna do?
What’s your dream?
I’m so happy that you are able to run again! Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos also. As you encourage us to reach our dreams, you will reach yours too! Continue to enjoy your birthday month!
Thank you, Rita! Reading this poem (almost a year later) made me cry to think about how far I’ve come.
You’re welcome! Grateful for the lady who took the photographs and Brenda for the alterations (definitely the place to go for alterations).
Most importantly, I hope everyone reaches their dreams too!
