Retired Finally

Retired Finally Dr. James E. Martin ©November, 2013 He arrived one morning At his place of employment And realized at last There was no longer enjoyment. All of these years He had given his best, Now it was time For a long awaited rest. He had wondered for years What it would be like to depart. Now he was discovering Emptiness at heart. As he cleared his office That final day A new realization hit him, There’d now be time for play. Now he would be able To go fishing and such. Many other things He had missed so much Traveling to see grand-kids Who was a distance away, Now entered his mind And brightened his day! He hastily put away His departure gloom, And sped from the parking lot, Zoom, Zoom, Zoom!
