Retired
He retired from his job
And the busy freeway mob
And now really wanted to fish
With his son his greatest wish
He wanted to build project things
Including an oak front porch swing
And a table made of pine
Where he could eat and recline
He planned a garden good
Where cultivation was understood
With vegetables and water melons
And cantaloupes good for selling
He planned to go back to church
To learn more about rebirth
And to read the books of Paul
And know the reason for them all
He was a regular at the shop
Where he drank his coffee hot
And talked about the times gone past
And the plans that he had
