why I don't ever want to retire

Found this today in a book called Women Pray that was given to me by a wise mentor.

Whenever I think about retirement, I often think that I don't want to retire (unless my children need me to help care for their children; I would do that.)

Here is why:

God give me work
Till my life shall end
And life
Till my work is done.

~On the grave of the writer Winifred Holtby
