Marathon Runners Poem

On the day of the London Marathon, and in memory of the Boston Marathon bombing victims, a poem dedicated to all those who run for charities.

The Humane Race

Humanity is frail and flawed

We would be diminished by perfection

It is through the overcoming of Physical faults and failings

That humans become humane

The beauty of each life's race

The golden blessed memories

Of gentle words and kind deeds.
