There is an urge in me that must be satisfied

Be the Best I Can Be

by HarryT

There is a fire that is ablaze in me Although, I am a senior, I am Still an aggressive competitor   On the fields of youth, I played With an all-out desire to be the Best basketball and baseball player I could be. During my professional life I applied my desire and studied Hard to be the best I could be at my job   Now that I’m retired that competitive Urge still demands to be tended             No longer am I able to perform on Fields of my youthful endeavors   Now I seek to keep my fires ablaze By more individual means, many Seniors find a venue in golf, swimming Or even long-distance running I have chosen writing and bowling   It matters little to a true competitor which Avenue is chosen to keep the competitive Yearning satisfied. No matter my age, I will yearn to compete, to fulfill my need try to Be the best I can be, until my last day on earth.
