I’ve loved to travel with
Willie Nelson’s gravelly voice
singing to the music of my tires
my heart has filled with
the beauty of the land seen
through the prism of my windshield
and now there is a new road to take
On the road to retirement
my mind's suitcases packed
with experience, strength and hope,
possibly wisdom in the choices made,
forks in the road to be examined,
crossroads to be met and taken
being mindful of the expectations
that retirement means slowing down.
“Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me, as is ever so on the road.”
~ Jack Kerouac, On The Road
