His True

Nothing lasts forever,
But the best that we can do
Is respect the writing on the wall
And listen to our “true.”

So Rafael Nadal will soon
Retire from his sport
And all his fans are saddened
By this “It can’t be!” report.

But tennis is a young man’s game
And Rafa gave his all.
Still, injuries and aging bones
Conspired to force this call.

A quote of his, “That is my true”
Reflects what he can’t hide,
Yet I hope he knows the joy
His brilliant playing did provide.
