In life, sometimes, I must engage the clutch -
I step on the gas, navigate, and drive.
At other times, that doesn't help too much,
I ease off, coasting freely to survive.
In younger years, I'd grab onto the reins -
start a family, pursue a career.
Now that I am retired with aches and pains,
my kid is independent, not so near.
As life brings changes I must undergo,
I find it's better to stop and let go.
