A Once Active Soul

Been retired for over four years now

I've finally accepted this role

As a senior citizen sent out to pasture

Not good for this once active soul

Poetry has sure helped fill in the gap

But looking for something else

Maybe creating a children's picture book

Got a mind for it I've always felt

Not saying my old mind is childlike

But it's probably close to the truth

Always was able to get down to their level

Even though I'm long in the tooth

So wish me well in whatever endeavour

Don't need to make one red cent

You can wager I'm gonna eventually find out

The activity for which I'm now meant
