WHAT YOU LOVE DESTROYS YOU

David Welch

What you love destroys you,
that is the old cliché,
It’s so because the truth in it
is so obvious and plain.

Every morning I must break
rust off my joints with pain,
thirty-four years of skiing
has left me this price to pay.

What you love destroys you,
that’s what the people say,
and yet I still get on up
and go do it anyway.
