Sleeping Beauty

When the winds of change are blowing,

When the boss thinks you are slowing,

When the stocks you own are glowing,

It’s the time to say I am going.

A letter is all that needs to be given

And you are off on your own to liven

Your short life with travel and reading

And do as you will with no one disturbing.

No worries, no regrets, no thoughts so wild,

To intrude in your solitude and peace of mind

All in all, in this wonderful dream you’ll find

 A sleeping beauty of a very special kind.

A deep slumber under the soft covers

Free and happy, floating in the cloud

Of a magical world where joy hovers

in every moment and every sound.
