We Walk with Hope by Pat Martin
In early morning we gather.
We smile.
We stretch.
We pray.
We walk.
A thousand hearts pounding in our chests.
A thousand bodies sweating in the sunshine.
Two thousand feet kicking up dust and gravel.
We walk.
As the day wears on, we hear stories.
Her Aunt Ginny, her sister Pat,
We tell our own.
My best friend Sandy, our neighbor Edith.
We pray some more.
We walk.
Cars honk in support as they pass us.
Pedestrians wave and cheer us on.
Mostly it's quiet.
Evening is drawing near.
We walk.
Two days,
40 miles,
We pray.
We hope.
We walk.
Never let health take a back seat in your life.
Never let bad news freeze you in your tracks.
Keep walking with Hope in your heart.
