State Of Retirement
When I retired I grieved about it. For months my days were lost without it.
Then finally it dawned on me, my days are nice, work-worry free!
There's food to eat, clothes to wear, shoes for my feet, gas for the car.
I have breakfast in bed, watch the morning news, take a long hot shower, stretch my sinews.
I choose what I wear for comfort's sake. I trim my own hair, take hourly breaks:-)
There's time to read, to write a letter, to meet with friends and chat a little.
Each day's a joy, a perpetual wonder! Stress is gone and I can ponder all things in a new way.
