Not quite the man he was years ago
Going back in time some five decades or so
When he won the national ten kilometre road race
Ageing is a thing the best too have to face
Though he enjoyed his moments of sporting renown
He is no longer a hero of the town
Time that does age has him walking slow
On him the years are beginning to show
In his late seventies a divorced grand-dad
Physically far better days he has had
Balding and grey and slow on his feet
Hard to imagine him now as a once great athlete
There was a time when he could run so fast
Even with the best of them youth does not last.
