Time to Call It a Day

You know when you’ve had enough
and can’t go on any more.
Everything takes much longer,
deadlines are harder to meet.
You try to embrace the new,
but the changes come too fast.

Eyesight failing, stiffening joints,
pension or no, it’s just time to go!

Don’t be sad, you’ll have more time
for all that you meant to do.
Projects waiting in the wings,
many started long ago.
Headspace for fresh ideas,
new horizons to explore.

Shake off the chains, freedom awaits,
winds of change blow, just get up and go!
