With Age Comes A Bravery

The mind.
The body.
And every muscle,
Connected...
To patience long neglected,
By a show of disrespect.
Becomes strengthened with discipline,
That shows and goes into effect.

Stretching beyond pain felt that aches,
Will eventually elevate a foot to lift...
With a determination to hit a mark,
Directly embraced,
By an awaiting targeted placed...
One desires to hit with an unsuspecting,
Swiftness of it.

'Owwww...
Why did you do that? '

With age comes a bravery,
I guess!
Who knows what tomorrow may bring?

'That doesn't make sense! '

Oh?
You don't know how much it does!
