Much softness in our lives-is that not what we much desire ?
That comes to the fore especially when we are ready to retire.
We are looking forward to spend our days,be it on couch or in easy chair,
after a life of much competition, taking it easy now is ever so very fair.

We had to spend many of our previous years on a tiresome go,
wishing that this race for success now finally would slow.
Often hard chairs and much stranding were our destined lot-
no time to spend on blessed relaxation, a run- around is all we got.

But in the end our efforts should be rewarded with a place to relax,
surely we are entitled to find a soft spot to slow our tracks.
A blessed couch, a Grandfather's chair should now be our lot.
so we can stop racing around, slow down to an easy trot.

Downy pillows should now support our aching back or head-
fond memories on soft cushioning we are now entitled to get.
So, let us enjoy this well earned downy luxury and get our rest,
yes, a place to stretch out and reminisce will now be BEST.
