Goodbye To Our Colleague As You Retire
Poet: Julie Hebert
Our lives are filled with wondrous gifts,
Many events that make us who we are.
Graduations, weddings all the way to retirement we go.
Enjoying every moment as a superstar.
But I think we all love when retirement comes,
And we can relax more than ever before.
No more alarms, meetings, or getting ready for work,
You can do whatever you want and more.
So best wishes to you from all of us here,
Who are envious of you more than ever.
Hard to believe things are going to change,
This work family is going to be severed.
But we know deep down in our hearts,
That you'll always be a part of us.
You'll use this time wisely with no waste at all,
If you do we will most likely make a fuss.
Why you ask would we make a fuss,
When it's your retirement come true.
Well, you see it'll be a while before we can retire,
We will be living vicariously through you! -
Farewell
Poet: Julie Hebert
Farewell to a dear colleague,
We'll miss your smiling face.
Your hard work and dedication,
Left a lasting mark on this place.
You've earned your well-deserved rest,
After all those years of toil.
Now is the time to enjoy,
All the fruits of your hard labor and toil.
We'll always remember the good times,
The laughter and fun we shared.
But now it's time to say goodbye,
We'll miss you and how much you cared.
So here's to a happy retirement,
Filled with joy and peace.
May all your dreams come true,
And may the fun never cease. -
We'll Miss You
Poet: Julie Hebert
We'll miss your presence in the office,
The way you always made us smile.
Your wisdom and knowledge,
Helped us go the extra mile.
We can't imagine coming to work,
And not seeing your friendly face.
You've been such a valuable colleague,
And we'll always remember your grace.
No more alarm clocks for you,
No more deadlines to meet.
It's time to work on your hobbies,
And enjoy life's simple treats.
So here's to a well-deserved retirement,
May it be filled with joy and fun.
We'll never forget the impact you've made,
Thank you for all you've done. -
A Joyous Time Indeed
Poet: Julie Hebert
Congratulations on your retirement.
It's a joyous time indeed.
Say goodbye to the everyday hustle and bustle,
And enjoy the slower speed.
Take the things you love,
And make them happen every day.
Retirement is a time for you,
So make some time to play.
Whatever you love to do,
Make it number one.
This is your one and only time,
To have a lot of fun.
Wishing a lot for you,
At this amazing time.
Hope its everything you imagined,
By enjoying your favourite past time. -
Happy For You
Poet: C. A. Lynch
Oh we are so happy for you
But we are left and are blue
We wish you a happy retirement
We can feel your excitement.
But we must also say
We will miss your smile every day
We will miss your corny jokes
And the pranks and hoaxes.
But you deserve only the best
Come in and see us, is our request
We will be here working hard
Just pop in and give us your regards.
Life for you will be so grand
No more work demands
No more alarm clocks
And no more worrying about being docked.
All the years we worked with you
Have been a pleasure, that is so true
We hate to see you go
We will miss you so!
So let us all say
Happy Retirement Day
Enjoy your time
Retirement is prime! -
Congrats We Send To You
Poet: B. R. Clement
Congratulations we send to you
We wish you happiness in all you do.
It won't be the same around here
That for sure is very clear.
After all the years, you deserve this day
Even though we wish you would stay
But now your efforts have paid off
You can now just take off.
Congrats, and best wishes we do send
Retirement is not the end
You now can relax and do
Whatever you want to! -
Side By Side
Poet: Tom S. Gold
Side by side we have worked
And how the years have passed by
I can't believe you are retiring
The place won't be the same, no lie!
Enjoy the coming years
Do what you want, when you please
We will miss you here at work
Work for you has now ceased.
No more deadlines, no more boss
What a different life for you
You can now do the things
That you have always wanted to.
As you retire from this job
We wish you happiness
And no more stress
Working with you has been fabulous. -
Life's Utmost Treasures
Poet: C. A. Lynch
So long to the grind and the daily prelude,
Adieu to the meetings and memos accrued.
We bid you dear colleague farewell with glee,
Retirement offers boundless joys, you'll see!
Here's to lazy mornings, 'neath soft bedspreads,
And adventures ahead like never before, unsaid.
Cheers to your golden years of peace and pleasure,
Oh coworker dear, enjoy life's utmost treasure! -
You Get To Be Free
Poet: C. A. Lynch
Now is your time, you get to be free,
Retire and not worry, smile all day with glee,
As we keep working, while you take a nap,
So long, farewell, au revoir, but know you'll leave a big gap.
No more meetings and deadlines to meet,
No more emails or clients to greet.
Enjoy your retirement, drink up that tea,
And let us do the work while you live carefree. -
A Time Of Freedom
Poet: C. A. Lynch
Retirement, a time of freedom and delight,
No more schedules, just days filled with light.
No clock to keep, no rush to be found,
Just following passions, wherever they're bound.
Time to travel, or simply stay put,
To indulge in hobbies, or try something new.
Retirement—a canvas for dreams to take flight,
My colleague, it's a chapter of life that's endlessly bright. -
A New Chapter Begins
Poet: Julie Hebert
Retirement calls, a gentle chime,
A gift of precious, newfound time.
No more the rush of workday grind,
Just freedom now, pure and kind.
The hobbies waiting on the shelf,
Now can be enjoyed yourself.
The garden blooms beneath your care,
The painter's brush, your canvas bare.
Projects paused by work's demand,
Now take shape beneath your hand.
A book to write, a song to play,
A dream pursued by light of day.
But more than just your own delight,
There’s time to spread your wings in flight.
To volunteer, to lend a hand,
To help another make a stand.
In giving back, you'll find your way,
Enriching lives along the way.
The world is brighter for your touch,
Your time and care mean so much.
For in this chapter, bright and new,
There's so much waiting just for you.
Embrace it all, the big and small,
Retirement's the best gift of all. -
Monday Feels Like Saturday
Poet: C. A. Lynch
Now that you have retired, Monday feels like Saturday,
Oh how we envy your newfound way,
No more workweek struggle or 9 to 5,
Instead leisure and relaxation come alive.
The freedom to plan your day ahead,
Do as you please without daily dread,
We can't help but feel excited and inspired too,
To retire someday, just like you. - Retirement Poems for Friends
