Retirement

67 years 8 months, you are now of age What achievements have you to gage Married twice children there are four What legacy is left as you walk out the door Bowler. Firefighter, part time clown Carpenter, DPW worker, man with a frown Wonderful daughter, 2 boys and one stepson To most this would be a lottery won A failed engagement, divorce, a marriage of 41 years Look back on my life, bring on the tears Take a good long look and you clearly see sixty-seven years, not where you thought you’d be Clock counting down, retirement looms A new chapter in life about to bloom Pension set, financially sound Damn I am not ready to just sit around

I wrote about my life already in my pal, so that somehow was a completion for me on any topic, but of course it look creepy in my phone again I know that. I hope to live in the future and 67 is very young by the way some people don’t even make it to 60. My cousin, a handsome dude was a four-year-old race, car driver, and he died of day. Good gool to acknowledge our pa£5 Pangie
