He Carries Me

I run because of Him.
He is my endurance,
perseverance, and 
inspiration. When I near the end
and my feet coincide with the copious pounding
of my heart. It is Him.

He carries me.

Teacher

One persons life touches thousands of other lives in the time span of one day, and each person usually remains unaware. But once in a great while a person will walk into your life and change everything you know about yourself. They'll change who you are, what you want, and how you think. They'll teach you about important things, like hope, faith, endurance, and love. They will make you want to be better, and they will give you the opportunity to just that. And you'll always know that every goal you set thereafter, every mile marker, every achievement, started with them.
I used to think that I could make my own path, and I still firmly believe this to be true. You fight for what you want, work for it, and you'll receive it. But when given the opportunity to learn and be taught, grab that opportunity and hold onto it.
Without this person, life would be empty; because, when it's all said and done, they have taught us everything we know.
