The Myth

What is retirement,
A place in time,
Aging gracefully,
Meeting with friends,
Relatives come by now and then,
To bless us and to be our companions
A home simple and comfortable,
Discovering strengths you have,
Fashions a way of life,
The twinkling sound of the piano,,
Poetry an exclusive mode of thinking,
Appreciated by friends and good neighbours,
Dinning with excellence,
Crafts a simple luxury,
To be great as a senior isn't my goal,
Sometimes you are called upon to be great,
Friendship a virtue that is always there,
To be blessed with a good queen and king,
We continue to be blessed by God.
