No matter the feeling surrounding retirement, it is a time to cheer. Let these poems give you words to cheer for the retiree. For some people, it may seem impossible and for others, it is probably a dream come true.
The poems reflect both of those opinions. It is reminding retirees that this is their time to shine and congratulating them on getting to this point.
Retirement is a time to recognize and celebrate an exciting time in the new retiree's life. We offer them a cheer or a toast to thank them for all they have done and wish them well as they move into retirement.
You�ve done it, you did it,
You're finally complete.
No more alarm clocks or early mornings,
And schedules are obsolete.
Now its time to do only,
The things you love to do.
Leave everything else at the door,
It's time for your interests to pursue.
So enjoy these next few days,
Where things will feel kind of weird.
But don�t worry that will fade away quickly,
And soon after all you will want to do is cheer!
You'll have thoughts jumbling around,
Instinctively you'll reject the ideas.
Then all of a sudden you'll remember,
You're free to even go to Korea.
But of course, you'll take it slow,
Test the waters a little at first.
Whatever the future holds for you,
May it conquer and quench your thirst.
Cheers to you as you retire
To all of us, you have inspired
We wish you sunny days ahead
Living on your homestead.
Plant that garden, read that book
Go for walks along the brook
Congratulations!
How Lucky You Are
Poet: B. R. Clement
We think of you and how lucky you are
To leave this workplace and go afar
Retirement means many things
But to your life may it bring blessings.
We offer a cheer to you on this special day
We love you and will miss you we must say!
Three cheers to you, retirement is finally here.
Though our hearts have a tear,
We give you best wishes so sincere,
Thanking you for all the years you've been here.
It's now your time to sleep in late,
Go on all the trips you've waited for. �
Farewell dear friend with a smile so bright,
May retirement open exciting doors!
In Your Honor
Poet: B. R. Clement
We raise our glasses in your honor
To celebrate a well-deserved retirement
Here's to you and all you do
We are so happy for you!
