    Retirement

    We still go to work each day,


    You to the garden,
    Me to the study upstairs,
    Each long going their separate ways.
    I still offer my shaven cheek
    For your glancing kiss
    While you still hand me
    My warmest winter coat,
    My sandwiches and filtered coffee.
    And, as I pass you your
    Soiled working gloves and spade
    You activate the stair lift
    And I ascend into heaven.
