In the crazy world of sports,
A player’s
age reflects,
On varied
fields or surfaced courts,
What everyone
expects.
For athletes
in the 40’s range
Or those
soon closing in,
Will likely
see a subtle change
In what they
need to win.
Perhaps
their bodies just don’t move
As quickly
as before
And even if
they find their groove,
It’s tougher,
now, to score.
In much of
life, our wisdom grows
And elders,
we are told,
Should be
revered, but in the pros,
The young
ones earn the gold.
