Retired

"She is retired now," lamented grandmother

to no one in particular,

 thinking she be alone.

Well, not quite alone,

with me, you see, in my secret little abode.

"You are sparkling, and shiny, and silvery. 

Your work well beyond. 

I no longer need your services,

but I long to keep you around.

Many a dark day,

you saw me through.

Your light 

burnishing bright.

I shall place you right here,

and dust you my dear.

 Your bond with me secure.

Our features still strong.

We both move along.

New faculty to be.

The flames in our hearts,

 say we will never part.

Now, 

We Just Get to BE!"
