Poem Title:
Poem
To live a talented retiremant, i dreamed of a normal retirement, Meeting classmates again coincidently Getting together for a cup of tea or coffee,, To be with the church, When I retired that all began, A storytale retirement, I did participate and did things, I have never done before, I wrote two books, "Living with God", The next good book"The Sounds of Christmas", My poems were well-liked by the seniors at the residence, I gave them as christmas presents one year Blessing my relatives and friends, I was featured at the Open House as a guest poet. They praised my accomplishments, We had a lovely reunion with my relatives, The sound of music came honestly, I taught myself as a teacher to play many songs, A friend came up to me and said, That they would like me to play for the birthdays, I played the piano for the birthdays and socials, Previously I had sung with the choir, I participated in bazaars, A well-respected poet and pianist, I said to myself, perhaps I have practiced all my life , Just to be featured today as a senior today, I met a future mayor of our city and a bishop of our church, I had friends that were ministers and lunched, I thank God for the many accomplishments and blessings, We have a beautiful conservation area nearby, Many hikes and lovely walks guested with relatives and friends, A retirement that is blessed by the Lord, To have been blessed to share my retirement with my father and relatives, To have discovered my favorite miracle singer, These are the many blessings of God and I am truly thankful.
