The elite sports people in the World of today
Were born to be mortals in truth one can say
Great as they are one day they must die
In this respect they are no different to you and to i
Eventually they too will become victims of time
In ten years from now they will be past their prime
Though they will age with the memories of sporting renown
When they were admired as the best in the town
Though they have their trophies and medals in old age for to show
Time has left the champions of the past walking slow
Today's sports fans have their young champions to admire
And greats of the past them does not inspire
They were the sporting greats of long ago
Until eventually time too did become their foe
Brown leaves of the Autumn to the earth does fall
The fate of the leaves does apply to us all.
