Poetry by Henry
John Steiner, poet…
Glory Days
Remember
your glory days!
Remember
them. The triumph
Of
the force that burns within.
Remember
the risks you took
In
the full power of life,
The
strength, the knowledge,
The
challenge, the agility, the beauty,
The
score, the win…
For
as your sight dims and your hand
Withers,
your glory days will
Comfort
you and hover
Before
you with reflections of how
In
youth your brain massed
And
your muscles sprang
And
you took chances knowing
That
in time the mind fades and
The
body bows. But in your
Evening
hours, I pray, you
Have
the strength to hold your
Glory days before you.
