How does one retire?
when all my life I wondered,
how to make my first million,
and how to drive a Mercedes.
Why does one retire?
when I need to see them graduate,
see the tears of joy from their eyes,
when they get their first paycheck.
Where do I retire?
when you are just above me,
nestled in those windy hills,
waiting for me to complete you.
Ahhhhh, but I know when,
when my muse has disappeared,
my poems are all written,
and my heart has stopped beating.
