A Once Active Soul
Been retired for over three years now
I've finally accepted this role
As a senior citizen sent out to pasture
Not good for this once active soul
Poetry has sure helped fill in the gap
But looking for something else
Maybe creating a children's picture book
Got a mind for it I've always felt
Not saying my mind is childlike or such
But it's probably close to the truth
Always was able to get down to their level
Even though I'm long in the tooth
So wish me well in whatever endeavour
Don't need to make one red cent
You can wager I'm gonna eventually find it
The activity for which I'm now meant
