My heart is very sad today
And I wish… I knew why.
The sun is shining
My body moves
And my mind is working fine.

There is no reason for sadness
As I opened my eyes today.
My children are well
Our health is okay
And our faith is still intact.

Maybe its the lack of purpose
That greets me each morning I wake.
Nothing really needs me to do a thing
As retirement is doing…
It’s thing.
