Run, run, run!

This isn't fun.

But it helps me feel better and it helps me feel young.

It reminds me that there are things I can control.

And helps me stay balanced and is good for my soul.

So why am I asking you for your cash?

If I run for myself, and I don't exactly dash?

I started running after anxiety attacks,

Led me to feel that life was just pants.

My running is for me, for my well-being.

But for some people it's harder and no end can be seen.

MIND charity helps those with no other place to go,

With help for recovery and support; they even have a garden where you can grow.

Your cash will help with counselling and care,

For well-being and crisis - your troubles you can share.

I also run to show there are ways we can all help.

Being open about our problems, and not being afraid to yelp.

By being kind and caring about those with whom we work.

Thinking about what is best for them, not accusing them of shirk.

Listening, giving options, flexible working or a break.

Thinking about well being in the workplace - small changes we all can make.

So donate some pennies to help MIND and minds grow strong.

Pennies that help those in crisis or those who need support when the road is hard and long.

Pennies because there are ways we can all show we care.

Small change and changes show this is a problem we all share.
