The hills and the valleys,
were a bit steep this year.
Sensitivities rise with age,
or so it would appear.
Losing a third mentor,
after 30 years of dream building.
Marks the end of an era,
causing the year to lose its gilding.
This gives cause to steady the ship,
so the dreams are still in place.
Get back into training,
so we can finish the race.
