The thunder roars,
The cheers erupt,
Grass tears,
As their feet soar.
“Boom!” The gun says,
Pounding feet,
Racing hearts,
Your neck to neck,
Run! Run! Run!
You take the medal,
You have won.
A job well done,
Now farewell,
To my racing heart,
Until another meet.

© Juliana E., Walton, Kentucky

This is how I feel when I taste the wind and feel it in my hair, when I run free and happy, when I enjoy the race.
