Soul, slow down your flight
A kindred soul dare to delight
In  your tryst when you hold her tight
 
Savouring every breath, every moment
Shunting aside pain and torment
Shutting out a callous comment
 
When your priorities say...

No more work retirement is now for me
Others come to shake my hand to say farewell
Oh now work has just become history
I can now put my feet...

Living in the twilight of yesterday
Wistfully longing for a return 
To reap the glory I once shared
For a destiny's child I was born
Then I grew up to be a king

You left without saying goodbye
Tears on my pillow

Family conflict ...

Tired of IPA’s or wine?

Maybe what you really need
To perk you up’s some old-time mead.
