Poetry About Encouragement

Her stride has shortened to a stubborn rhythm. The road keeps rising beyond the water station. A stranger calls her name from the barrier. One voice becomes a hand against the wind. She does not borrow strength, but remembers hers. Encouragement turns distance into one more step.

Look again from the quieter edge. The road keeps rising beyond the water station. A smaller detail changes the whole scene. One voice becomes a hand against the wind. Attention loosens the first easy answer. Encouragement turns distance into one more step.

Her stride has shortened to a stubborn rhythm. Hours pass, but the image does not leave. A stranger calls her name from the barrier. It returns us to support, kind words, courage, persistence, friendship, and helping another person continue. She does not borrow strength, but remembers hers. The day continues with a more attentive heart.
