9 to 5, or 8 to 4,
You don't have to do it anymore.
No more time clock
No more late docks.
You get to retire today
You will be missed in every way.
Enjoy your retirement
It is truly an achievement!
Congratulations to you
With work, you are through!
How did you get to retire before me?
Oh, my friend, that can't be!
Oh, how jealous I am of you
You make me feel blue!
But I am happy you get to retire
You always did inspire!
Your compassion and caring, a guiding light,
Through countless lives, you've made things right.
As retirement beckons, a new chapter unfolds,
Know that your presence will forever be told.
Enjoy this well-deserved rest, dear nurse,
Your impact lingers, your kindness will disperse.
Though you'll be missed, your legacy will thrive,
A shining example, inspiring lives to revive.
This poem was written just for you
To wish you a happy retirement,
And happiness in all you now will do
Wishing you lots of contentment
In the coming retirement days
We will miss you in every way!
There never seems enough time
To do all the things we want to
But with retirement we have time
To do only the things we want to
Happy Retirement wishes are sent to you
Keep us posted on all you do!
E is for
enjoying the journey and having time to play!
May You
Irish Blessing
May you always have work for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold always a coin or two.
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
With retirement, change takes its course,
A transition to a new chapter, a different source.
No longer bound by the 9 to 5 grind,
Freedom and adventure brilliantly entwined.
I am so excited for these retirement days,
The change and possibilities ignite my soul's blaze.
No more deadlines, no more suits and ties,
I welcome this new beginning I won't lie!

Today
Poet: Julie Hebert
Today you will retire
But don't you tire
Live life even more
Walk out of here and shut the door
Congrats to you
Life brings different challenges to us all
But retirement is a time to have a ball
No more challenges of work for you
Spend your days as you wish to.
Carefree and happy we wish your days
But we will miss you always.
Cheers to all the years you have worked
Cheers to the years ahead and what you find
Cheers to the great person you are
Cheers to the sad people you leave behind
Cheers to your retirement this day
Blessings and happiness for you we pray.
Retirement - It's all in how you play the game, isn’t it?
Let's see now. How will I know when I am a senior? Hmmmmmmm.....
Some places give me a senior's discount at 55, some at 60 and some at 65.
My government pension will be sent to me when I am 65.
My company will arbitrarily retire me at 65.
(I'm going to beat them to the punch and retire at 60.)
So that means that parts of our society think 'senior' begins at 55.
How will I personally know?
Well, with a little bit of luck, I don't think I'll ever know.
It's all in how you play the game, isn't it?
How many times have you retired
Of this, we are getting tired.
Nothing can keep you down
Retirement to you is like a clown.
So you're going to retire again
Spend some time with your friends
Oh we will see this time around
If retirement is really found!
The wait is over, the day is here
For all those years you've held so dear
Now it's time to put up your feet
We're excited for you, this is quite a feat.
No more alarms or early morns
Cheers to days with no formed norms
We wish you all the best, feel free as a dove
May retirement bring freedom and love!

Retirement is a new future, that lies before your feet,
With working days now complete.

On adventures, both wild and stark.

Remembered fondly, you will be,
As retirement sets you free.

A balance of rest and the thrill of freedom attained
Carefree days to fill with your choice activity
Endless possibilities to use your creativity.

No longer stuck in a routine workday
Farewell to deadlines, you can do what you may.

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.

Forget what was and look forward with glee
As today the future glows bright it calls
Enjoy this happy freedom you see!
