Well, to be honest, I read this title in a piece of lyrics and thought it would probably inspire us for a poem: Retirement Bay |

Mum's Diary
I live a life of luxury
and I don't even have to go out
Food and drink available all day
I'm cared for, there's no doubt.
This is my diary for December
Look!, I'm as busy as can be
I will not have to venture too far
as the lovely staff look after me.
There is a children's choir
a Staff pantomime too
switching on of Christmas lights
and I won't even have to queue
A Christmas meal
mince pies and wine
well I am ninety-five
So that sounds just fine
My hair is permed
My nails are painted
meals are always ready
and I have been accepted
I have made many friends
and I am never alone
this is my first Christmas here
So this is a milestone.
Doreen E Hampshire
This was my Mum's Retirement Bay

Everyone Dee should have a bay of retirement as your Mum has. May we all be so lucky to reach this bay of tranquillity when we reached that point in time.

Retirement Bay
Retirement Bay is a place
I hope to reach one day
filled with love and is safe
One never wants to stray
I've been on many voyages
in my trek towards my end
my life has been engaging
from the poems I've penned
Soon the muse will run its course
my ship will sail no more
I shall leave without remorse
as I close this poetry door

In deed thoughts to consider in your poem Doreen, thank you!
Roland, your lovely poem has a melancholic touch. May your ship continue with blown sails and your poetry furthermore inspire the readers! Thank you.
