The way she keeps on moving

I’m struggling to keep up

Why am I still here?

I don’t think she’ll slow down enough

for me to ever catch my breath

I’m not sure I’d want her to

That wouldn’t be true to who she is

and who she is is the reason

this whole problem started

She just exudes vitality,

there’s no other way to say it

She lives life full speed ahead

and challenges those around her

to find a way to do the same

Oh what wouldn’t I do

to match that woman’s pace

Maybe I should just stand still

and wait for her to circle back

because chasing gets me nowhere

She’s just too far ahead

Lord let me find the finish line

and be the one to greet her there

for the moment or two before

she sets off again
