In Your Dreams

At the time of my life, when all should done, when my life should have transformed into just peace and fun. The clock hasn’t paused to allow me to sit for a moment to rest my old bones for a bit. Busier now than in my hectic life where I thought that my work had given me strife. Retirement at last, the race has now run? I’m afraid that is not the way it’s become. For twenty four hours I worked every day when I went to work to bring home the pay. But now far more hours I really do need to just scratch the surface of my every deed. They say that I’ve now got nothing to do so I’ve time to help others to see some things through Builder and plumber consultant and friend, there is no direction that I must not bend. Taxi and baby sitter, help me move home, mend my computer or repair my phone. Just when I thought that I’d earned a rest I’m thrown back in the rat race and put to the test. Although twenty four hours are never enough and I get real tired with all of this stuff now in retirement against time I still race for the youngsters today can’t keep up with life’s pace. Look forward to old age, when you can retire and sit with your slippers in front of the fire. The time of your life to relax, so it seems, a picture so perfect …….it’s all in your dreams!
