what lies beyond this?

it's hard
for athletes to quit.
the boxer,
the pitcher. weakened
by age,
the vision blurred,
no longer swift.
it's hard
for
politicians, for musicians.
for actors.
it's hard to leave
the stage,
to end a career.
it all goes by so quickly,
why stop? 
the idea brings fear.
so let's go on, 
let's stumble forward,
let's keep it rolling
for one more year.
