Retired

He sat in his front yard, retired

Waved at every car that drove by, because

Some he knew, some he thought he knew,

Some he wanted to know

Some he knew he didn’t know, but

It made him laugh to think

They went to work and tried

All day to remember how they knew him

And this is how he knew

He still mattered
