Well, I have waited 43 years for someone to write a poem for and about me.
My good friend Paul Christopher put together the below. Touched and humbled doesn’t even come close to how I feel receiving this….., Paul I will treasure this
Running for Life
An ode to Phil King
This man is building up his body
All others have not known
Running daily to strengthen his mind, muscle and bone
This man has determination
That his demons cannot beat
Running daily with nails torn
From the toes of his feet
This man has been up 3 mountains
But not running I hasten to add
‘This is not enough’ he cries
To take away all the bad
This man to encounter a trail hard and long
With hope of no trips nor falls
May his chosen God be with him
While running for this good cause
