Retirement on the balcony

It is a balcony... not more than a balcony,
But when you see it, it looks like a garden, since it contains all the kinds of green plants, roses, and small trees.

I used to look at this balcony from my office, it belongs to an old man. His age is more than 70 years, but each day, after having his breakfast on this balcony, at the table, he starts to take care of his plants.

He waters his plants with passion, and removes the weed.
He probably talks to them about his history, about his adulthood, when he used to have strength and power, and complains about his present. Then he probably sings to them before they sleep.

They are now all his life. They are his retirement plan after 70 years of hard working in life.

What will be our retirement plan in this country? A balcony, a garden, a closed apartment, an old age home, or maybe still working to get our food... God knows.
