David Crandall Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

8/15/2024 for Lets Minichu On Freedom Poetry Contest

Retirement

Hurray, I have retired - 
That, one day, unrestrained, I will happily say, 
so inspired.

When it's real,
Such gratitude for every day,
I'll feel.

Yippie!
Retired today!
Free!

Hurray!  I have retired -
Such gratitude for every day, 
Free!
