That Time Is Our Master

The time on our lives ever ticking away
The best footballer in the town ten years ago is not so today
At thirty seven a veteran member of the town's football team
Of late he has been running out of steam
The years on his body beginning to show
Once the club's fastest but compared to the fastest now slow
Yes eventually time becomes everyone's foe
He is not the man he was ten years ago
That age slows the best of them is true indeed
With the passing of the Seasons he has lost some of his speed
Nowadays he does struggle when put to the test
One ten years younger than him is now the club's best
Though the deeds of greatness with the body does not die
That time is our master it is not a lie.
