ON RETIREMENT

ON RETIREMENT

Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago


Why dream of retiring at age 60 or 65?

Has life not gloriously revealed

The exquisite beauty within you

That shines all the more

With each day of doing?

Will retirement not compel you

Into dark dens of nothingness

Push you to the brink

Of cancerous boredom that kills

In every second of its conquest?


Continue to share to all fellowmen

The sublime makings of your trade

Be these in simple or intricate form.


For Life has endowed you

With blessings aplenty

Since the first day that you saw

The undying Light of the sun.



[Writ. 04 June 1988, Proj. 8, Quezon City, M.Manila.]
