A Lady loves to run

♠♠♠♠♠

Catch me,
catch me
if you can.

I can run longer
than anyone can.
Over the hill
and into the dale.
Straight through the woods,
hearty and hale.

Catch me,
catch me,
if you can!

Twenty-six miles,
a marathon.
Nothing for me,
but see if you can:
run against wind;
run through the snow.
I run with my child
strapped ...
in tow!

Catch me,
catch me,
if you can!

An inner rhythm.
To finish, my lust.
Feet hit the pavement.
I run for I must.
I run under moon.
I run with the sun.
You, left behind,
like worries ...
undone.

Catch me,
catch me,
if you can.

I can run longer
than anyone can.

Catch me,
catch me,
IF
you
can!
