Retire

When you retire 
You can maximize your own time .
You can sit down and look out
Through your big windowpanes
And think only of your own pain
If you have any that day .
At night or at dawn or any quiet time
You can go outside and thank God
you live out here in the plains  .
You are no longer
A slave to the clock 
Or 4 walls .
You get to live your life
The way you like it .
You get to go fishing
By yourself or with family
or with a friend or two .
You will be a made a pardoner
Of the South Dakota wind and sun some days !
I know you will be easy
on any man that is down .
You are as big as the river
In the plains to me .
You will be as free
As the birds that circles down the breeze .
Now that you are retired  ,
I hope to do more fishing
With my friend .
We will savor our fishing time
or any time together .
Now that you have retired .
