    Default Please, would you proofread my poem.

    Please, would you proofread my poem Jogging.

    JOGGING

    Jogging at dawn a strange phenomenon occurs to me time and again.
    I hear thumping of feet behind me and when I turn my head
    I see my father, my grandfather and my great grandfather running.
    They are completely naked - their muscular, sunburnt bodies wonderful gifts of nature.
    They come abreast of me and my grandfather gives me a mischievous look saying, “How’s it going?”
    Before I manage to answer, they are already ahead of me,
    disappearing in the wisps of mist or yellow light of the early sun, depending on weather.
    I try to catch up with them and push hardest I can,
    but every time I have to admit to myself my wanting.
    I have to train harder. I must prepare myself.
    One day I will run with them heaven’s trails and never became exhausted.
