Maturity Beckons

No longer do I have to work, though more money would be nice, I only have to sit here and to take my own advice. There’s more to life than money though it’s now quite hard to see why still I feel I have to seek a job that’s paying me. It’s the habit of a life time or so I have been told, and working is the thing you do until you’re very old. So does it mean I’m old now, as the mirror tells me so or just that I’ve matured at last, I really do not know. Maturity, I reckon I achieved at sweet sixteen, from then I’ve just been living to fill in the time between my teens and my retirement though I had a bit to do, it seems I have arrived at last now working days are through. Now I must fill a different time from now until I’m dead, starting every single day until I go to bed. But maybe I’ll get lucky now my duty has been done and find I like the freedom of just sitting on my bum! Ivor G Davies
