Short Poems
Farewell to my Career
My time has come, I must depart,
It’s time to say goodbye.
I leave behind a life of work,
My retirement is nigh.
I’ll cherish all the memories made,
The triumphs and success,
And I’ll embrace this new chapter,
With renewed happiness.
A New Adventure
Retirement is not an end,
But a beginning to explore.
A chance to live and laugh and love,
And open up life’s door.
New hobbies, friends, and travels,
Will fill up each new day,
And I’ll embrace each moment,
In my own unique way.
Time for Reflection
As I retire and move on,
I’ll take the time to pause.
And reflect upon my life’s work,
And all that was the cause.
I’ll ponder all the lessons learned,
And all the love I shared,
And I’ll be proud of all I’ve done,
And all the love I cared.
Goodbye, But Not Farewell
Though I may retire from work,
I’ll never retire from joy,
For life is but a precious gift,
That we must all employ.
So I’ll embrace my golden years,
With open arms and heart,
And though I say goodbye to work,
My life will not depart.
Medium Poems
Retiring into Bliss
No need to rush
No need to stress
Relax and unwind
In your retirement nest
The world is now yours
To explore and enjoy
Travel to places
You’ve always adored
No more 9 to 5
No more deadlines to meet
Just take life at your pace
And enjoy the sweet retreat
Embrace your new freedom
And let your soul soar
Retire into bliss
And enjoy life more.
Memories of Work
The day has come
To bid farewell
To the years of work
And tales to tell
The laughs we shared
The tears we cried
The successes we achieved
And the failures we tried
The memories made
Will forever stay
And the bonds we formed
Will never fade away
Now a new chapter begins
And new adventures will unfold
But we’ll always look back
At the stories we’ve told
Cheers to retirement
And all that it brings
But never forget
The memories of work’s wings.
Long Poems
Sunrise of Retirement
The day is bright, the sky is clear,
A new dawn greets my retired years
No more worries, no more fears
The path ahead is bright and clear
I take a deep breath, relish the air
This new freedom is beyond compare
No more deadlines, no more stress
Living each moment, I must confess
The moment I step out of my home
The world seems so much more like home
Nature beckons, the wind whispers
Come, come take a walk and discover
I walk along the beach, feel the sand
My bare feet sink in, oh-so-grand
I dip my toes in the cool sea
My heart fills with glee, oh so free
Retirement is a time to explore
A time to travel, to seek out more
To read those books, watch those stars
With no more worries, no more scars
It’s time to pursue those hobbies long lost
To paint those pictures, write poems in cost
To garden, to cook, to enjoy life’s fares
To do anything, anywhere, at one’s leisure
The day is long, but time is short
So I’ll make the most, I’ll do my part
To cherish each moment, be present here
In the sunrise of retirement, oh so dear.
On the Cusp of Retirement
On the cusp of retirement, I stand,
A lifetime of work now in my hand.
In my mind, I see the faces of colleagues and friends,
Of people who have been a part of my life until the very end.
I feel a sense of pride, having come this far,
But now the time has come to lower the anchor.
To pause, to reflect, to enjoy the view,
To look at the horizon and see something new.
The work that I’ve done has been more than occupation,
It has been a calling, a source of inspiration.
Through each challenge and roadblock, I’ve persevered,
With passion and purpose, I’ve always steered.
Now as I look back, I see the marks that I’ve made,
Through my leadership, my ideas, and decisions I’ve weighed.
I’ve built something solid, something that will last,
And leave a legacy long after I’ve passed.
But retirement is not the end, it’s just a new chapter,
A chance to explore, to embrace a new venture.
To travel, to learn, to take on new roles,
To discover new passions, to explore new paths untold.
I’m excited for what the future holds,
For the joys and new experiences that it molds.
Thankful for what I’ve had and what still lies ahead,
I greet this new phase with excitement, not dread.
For on the cusp of retirement, I stand,
Ready to embrace what lies beyond the horizon,
To live life to its fullest, to be true to who I am,
To take on whatever may come, with courage and wisdom.
