Me Time Is Good Time

Now having been retired for a decade
this has given me time to think
now having so much me time on hand
consider the benefits, put down in ink

This time makes me feel so glad
deep down inside there's a real peace
knowing my times are my own to be alone
wishing for these times never to cease

Relaxing the brain is so cool
just lie back and soak in your thoughts
listen to pure smooth classical sounds
so soothing to ponder catching each shot

So much quality time to take in
just there feeling nice to be alone
enjoy your silence so very still
moments keep close never blown

Personally in my special me time
love to lie low being just still
bringing thoughts to my mind poetically
metaphorically climbing up my rhymeful hill

What sweet contentment emanates from your heart. This is the joy you feel in a life well lived. Being free from all nagging thoughts and relaxing in peaceful solitude is possible only for a person who has invited God into his company ! Readiing this poem I too experience a rare serenity.
