RUNNING

       They all run
       Some with hope
       in different directions
       Peter and John, a slower pace and a faster one,
       Sprinted with faith to
       Where Jesus laid
       After the woman
       Came and shared 
       Jesus had risen.
       The other disciples feared, locked up in the Upper Room
        Run, Peter, run.
