Retirement by Connie C
    Acrostic Poetry Contest Winner 


R
eaching these golden years at last
Ending life's era of work
Telling myself that I am still young
Ignoring each ache and each quirk
Remembering things--now hard to do
Enjoying my naps, quite easy
Making more time for things I like
Eating less things that are cheesy
Never has life been quite like this
The challenge of aging with bliss


Writing Prompt
