STARTING EACH DAY
WONDERING WHAT IS
IN STORE FOR ME
BEING RETIRED
I CAN HAVE TIME
TO DO WHAT
I LIKE BEST
SHOULD I COLOR
DESIGN AN ITEM
WITH MY
GRAPHIC ARTS ABILITY
WRITE A SONG
WELL JUST THE LYRICS
MAYBE I WILL MAKE
A FLOWER ARRANGEMENT
OR BAKE A CAKE
SOMETHING FUN
TO PASS THE TIME AWAY
MAYBE I WILL GO TO YOGA
STRETCH THOSE MUSCLES
AND BREATHE DEEP
TOTALLY IMERSE MYSELF
IN THE BETTER THINGS
LIFE HAS TO OFFER
AND HAVE SOME FUN
ALONG THE WAY
IT'S ONLY ONE LIFE
LET ME LIVE IT WITH FUN
NOW LET ME START
WEARING MY MANY HATS
