The Sidekick

The before dawn runner,
Rises, to take advantage of summer,
Waking without an alarm,
A trusted sidekick fastened to one arm,

It tells the story of a soul,
The number of footsteps that take a toll,
The number of miles that make a whole,
The training that builds a mold,

Each and every day,
The miles on display,
The mold begins to form,
An athlete now is born,

A story once unknown,
Now a story can be shown,
The sidekick everywhere,
The sidekick always there.
