Retirement Plan

Retirement Plan

Dr. James E. Martin
©February, 2013

Now that I’ve reached a ripe old age,
I sit on the porch and sip sweet tea.
Some may question the wisdom in this,
My response is simply, “It works for me!”

Jealousy is undoubtedly fostered in some,
For that matter anger may surely arise.
I simply continue in my well designed plan
And know that many my life they despise.

That sounds like a nice plan. I say that we have to plan ahead, so that we can enjoy at least a little of the time we have left. Thanks for sharing.....Lucilla
