Retired

Once I was hired, now I’m retired because of injury and pain

I was not fired but was very tired of aggravation, sickness and strain

Now I don’t have to rush, no need to fuss doing this I have nothing to gain

Thank God I’m strong, could move around, but I’ll never be hired again

From day to day I worked very hard, on that job my choice was to stay

The paycheck was small, I couldn’t stall there were bills that I had to pay

That job I held tight, decided to fight patiently I toiled come what may, once

I felt like quitting, now I’m home relaxed sitting,all my job to do now is pray
