When I retired
I didn’t retire from life
Didn’t want to be a spectator
Standing on the sidelines
Watching the clock ticking down
When I retired
I wanted to be a participant
Have dreams and ambitions
Play a full part, know in my heart
There’s nothing more left to give
When I retired
I wanted to be a better team player
A giver rather than a taker
Supporting family, my loved ones
Achieve their goals and ambitions
When I retired
This was just half time
The end of a frantic first period
This was a new start
Not the end
