Time To Move Again
Soon it will be time
To move on to a new place
The other house is almost ready
Between us becomes more space
Everyone knows
My family heritage come first
My heart will always be yours
Yet, retirement is what a thirst
I've worked hard
Years in advance
I can enjoy living a life
Maybe begin to dance
In the absence of marriage
I've been given dreams
I've gain all that I need
Just time to mend the seams
If you ever want
To see what success can be
At forty-five years old
Semi-retired is going to be reality
Maybe then
With my children grown
I can find true love
Happiness all my own
I look back onto
Hardships, hate, and despair
I made so many mistakes
I am now humbly prepared
My desires will be met
Unexpectingly I'm sure
I will wait patiently
For love true and pure
Five more years to go
Must hold on with all my might
Nothing can interfere
No one is worth a fight
I rest in peace
My head lays upon solid ground
Unified till the end
My true love I have found
I'll be at the orchard
Built with blood, sweat, and tears
My place of retirement
In the upcoming years
