Retirement's not the life for me
No purpose, living worthlessly
I'm living life meaningfully
I just want time with family
I work all week, always on call
The most important work of all
But pastors have no wherewithal
To live in two countries at all
My children live so far away
And I am getting old and gray
Australia is so far away
And we live in the USA
With two kids here and two kids there
Sometimes life seems just so unfair
Who can afford to pay airfare
Live some time here and some time there
If writing books is the Lord's will
I think that that would be a thrill
And we could see our children still
O Lord I pray that it's your will
