And so I've retired now
No tedious trips along the motorway network
Fellow workers racing by at speed
Whatever was the rush?
Was getting there ever the best part?
Leaving always was
Until the hold ups on the journey back
Sitting waiting for the road to clear
Adjusting my posture so I don't get stressed
Adapting to the thought it won't be long
And now that trip should no longer haunt me
Yet all those others will continue to speed
I'm retired now
The garden is my sanctuary
I revel in the colours during these summer days
I will equally enjoy the shades of green when Winter comes
My dogs by my side
Well, at least out here with me
Equally aged, we enjoy the peace
And the occasional game
Hopefully for many years
I am retired now.
