Extraordinary Sprint



If my sister had tripped, then she would have been swimming with a dolphin.
But, she did not trip.  She ran with wild abandon along the sandy bank.
The dolphin kept the same pace, surfaced frequently, 
and made a gentle puff sound from its blowhole.
Some children joined with them near the end of the impromptu, 
frolicking race.

My other sister, our mom, and I vicariously enjoyed the show.
In our hearts, we silently applauded 
the unexpected gift of an extraordinary sprint.

I thank God for the thrill of childlike wonder 
being a lifelong pursuit and adventure.
