Time now shall bow to our desires true,
The golden years we look forward too. -

How Many Times

How many times have you retired

If retirement is really found! -
Finally Retire!
Poet: Julie Hebert
You can finally retire!
It has paid off, all your hard work.
No more long hours and
Tedious tasks you must shirk.
You're ready to kick back,
Relax and enjoy the day,
Say goodbye to the boredom,
No boss keeping you at bay.
We say goodbye with
A smile and a tear,
We celebrate all you've
Accomplished in your career.
No more forcing yourself out of bed
For the nine-to-five grind,
Welcome the freedom to do what you want
When you want 'til you are inclined. -
We Wait
Poet: C. A. Lynch
In life's grand theater, we wait,
For retirement's golden gate.
Years slip through like grains of sand,
And then, in quiet, we understand.
The clock ticks slow, the years are fleet,
Dreaming of rest in a quiet retreat.
But time, a trickster, swiftly conspires,
Retirement dawns, as desire retires. -
Retirement is a new future, that lies before your feet,
With working days now complete.
Excitement builds as you embark,
On adventures, both wild and stark.
C. A. Lynch -
New roads await your every turn,
Memories will be made, new lessons learned.
Remembered fondly, you will be,
As retirement sets you free.
Julie Hebert -
The joy of retirement is hard to explain
A balance of rest and the thrill of freedom attained
Carefree days to fill with your choice activity
Endless possibilities to use your creativity.
C. A. Lynch -
Farewell to work, it's time to take flight,
Retirement brings you endless delight.
No more deadlines or stress to bear,
Embrace the freedom, life's joys to share.
C. A. Lynch -
May your days be filled with leisure and cheer,
No more worries or deadlines to fear.
We bid you adieu with heartfelt esteem,
In retirement's embrace, live your dream.
C. A. Lynch -
The employee life you bid adieu
Retire and be happy, this you will do
No longer stuck in a routine workday
Farewell to deadlines, you can do what you may.
Julie Hebert -
Retirement's embrace, a tranquil retreat,
No more rushing, just moments so sweet.
Looking back with a smile, no hint of regret,
Grateful for the memories, the journey you met.
C. A. Lynch -
In the golden glow of life's twilight flame,
Retirement whispers, a well-earned acclaim.
Days unfold in leisure, a tranquil song,
Embracing the peace where new journeys belong. -
Retirement sees no more paperwork or cubicle walls
Forget what was and look forward with glee
As today the future glows bright it calls
Enjoy this happy freedom you see!
C. A. Lynch
