(to use the word giant)
I am leaving here today not knowing what to write
It doesn’t matter, people will listen even if I am not right.
They will see me this Saturday when I take my giant leap
There may be some people at my concert who have never heard me sing.
I am okay with however it is; what will be will be
I have practiced, I am ready, I am happy I can sing.
I’m unsure if I will ever do another concert call
I have done what I have wanted and think it’ll help me stand tall
I can sleep easy knowing I am meeting my goal
I want for others the fun I am having when I get on a roll
They create as I do they will softly say
They meet their interests, enjoy themselves in their own way
I’m so glad I am part of this wonderful bunch
We get to party, have dinner instead of lunch
This ten-minutes better be over soon as soon can be
I’ve run out of words and have no harmony
A year of fun and singing too; I’ve grown by knowing you
My first year of retirement, like a bird it has flew
Did you forgot your phone I think ten minutes have gone by
I can come up with the words and I don’t have to try
I am glad other people look like they are done
It’s time for me out of here and go sit in the sun
Actually, I am headed now to golf my heart out
Enjoy today, this moment too, from the inside out.
DISTANCE/ TRAVEL/ MILES
( I sang the song below the same day I wrote the above poem and sang it to the tune of Irene Goodnight)
Goodbye Writers Goodbye
Writers Goodbye
Goodbye Writers, Goodbye Writers
I’ll see you in the fall.
We’ve travelled a distance together
Together we’ve covered the miles
We’ve laughed and we’ve cried
We’ve shared our lives
I am thankful for it all.
