Retirement short lived is my poem
Engaging in work all my life
To never realise that your retirement would be short lived
In five weeks to be exact
Retirement they call it, some retirement that was
Engaging in work all my life
Missing my family already as I lye here in this hospital bed
Eager to get up and play with my grandchildren
Not being able to be with my wife again to
To care for, want for.
Short lived; I think as I lay here in this hospital bed
How horrible it must be for my family to watch as I gasp for air
Oh how I am going to miss them so much
Remember the good times, I say to myself
Through the light I see
Lot's of people enjoying themselves, they are
Inviting me, but I can't go yet can I? I'm
Very scared as I lye here in this hospital bed
Eventually I have to go, I have to stop the fighting if only for my family
Death is here, eager to take me, goodbye my family I will miss you so much, Godbless.

Thank you for your lovely comment,I wrote this not long after my grandad passed.
