    Oh, how lucky you are
    For us that are left, retirement seems far.
    But, this is a day to celebrate you,
    You deserve it, that's so true.

    A celebration to say thank you

    A celebration to recognize you
    No more schedules, you can be impromptu.

    To wish you happiness through and through
    Enjoy the coming days
    We will miss you we must say!

    Best wishes for retirement
    No work today for you.
    Life now offers you the finer things
    Days filled with what you want to do!

    But make sure your days are filled with things to do!



  5. One Wish For You
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, ©2020


    If I could have one wish for you
    It is that retirement would be happy
    Fill your days with things you want to do
    A dream come true just for you.

    If I could have a second wish for you
    It is that health will stay with you
    Take care of yourself in all ways
    Now you can relax on any day.

    If I could have a third wish for you
    Is that you continue to help others as you do
    You're kindness and your willing hand
    Has always been there to lend a hand

    So happy, happy days ahead
    A new chapter with no more work no more dread
    Do what you want and forget the rest
    You deserve only the best.

  10. Cheers To You
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer


    As you enter retirement's blissful embrace,
    Your journey shifts to a slower pace.
    A tapestry woven with years well spent,
    A legacy left, impactful and content.

    Farewell to the days of toil and grind,
    A new chapter unfolds, serene and kind.
    May joy dance in each moment's measure,
    As you savor the fruits of a well-earned leisure.

    In this stage of life, may laughter resound,
    And tranquil moments in abundance be found.
    Your inspiration echoes, a guiding light,
    As you embark on this retiree's flight.

    Cheers to you, with wishes sincere,
    For a retirement that's truly premier.
    May happiness reign in your newfound domain,
    As you enjoy the freedom retirement does contain.
