60.

My Lord Supreme, I am praying to You

To bless all the marathon runners

With Your sweet and fond Marathon-Love.

My Lord, they desperately need

Your Compassion.

My Lord, I am also praying to You

To bless our self-giving organisers.

Self-giving is the right word, my Lord.

They always serve You lovingly

And self-givingly,

And at times sleeplessly.

My Lord, I am also praying to You

To bless profusely the helpers

And also the well-wishers

Of this marathon.

May all the runners run

Smilingly and happily

While covering the entire distance.
