Poet: Julie Hebert
My friend, the day has come
For you to retire
I wrote this little poem for you
To send you wishes that are true:
May your life be just starting,
May only good find its way.
May your thoughts be happy and joyful,
And may you feel blessed every day.
May the things you need find you,
May your wants be yours someday.
May your relations be strong and true,
For you these things I pray.
May you see the good in everything,
May you find humor when you need it.
May your faults not define you,
But give you a strong and happy spirit.
May you love with all your heart,
May all around you feel this true.
May your life be filled with greatness,
And may happiness be in your view.
Poet: C. A. Lynch
Retirement is a time for you to go out and explore
New places to see and races to soar
Though the days working together have come to an end,
We will always remain good friends.
Poet: Julie Hebert
My friend, I wish it was me
Leaving for retirement with glee!
No more sleepy morning alarm bells
And no more pesky bosses giving out orders to rebel.
But, you do know you we will miss,
For all the good times and memories that were bliss.
We will be as cranky and growly as before
"Congratulations! Off you go! Enjoy your new life galore!"

Friend, we have been forever, and a day
And now you are retiring what can I say?
You can sleep in every morning
You can wear the same clothing.
You can still come and meet me
And we can have coffee
You can tell me what it feels like
To retire and not worry about strikes.
The days will no longer be filled with work
But you still have us, your network
We look forward to your calls
We will tell you about work and its downfalls.
Work will not be the same
Without you around who are we to blame
Seriously, my friend, you will be missed
We wish you well with new interests.
Poet: C. A. Lynch
In years of toil and dedicated might,
You, my friend, worked hard from morning light.
Now comes the moment, a well-earned rest,
Retirement's embrace, a journey blest.
With each sunrise, a new chapter unfolds,
A tale of stories, yet to be told.
Cheers to the laughter, the joy, the glee,
In this well-deserved retirement spree.
No more deadlines, just skies so blue,
Days of leisure, just waiting for you.
Take off the tie, put down the pen,
Embrace the peace, let the adventure begin.
Through the years, your dedication shone,
Now, in retirement, your light has grown.
Wishing you tranquility, laughter, and cheer,
In this new chapter, your retirement year.
Retirement Sayings
Poet: Julie Hebert
Our paths first crossed when we met in the workplace
To each other, the office was home, no mistake
Through minutia and mischief time quickly would pass
It nurtured our friendship never to forsake.
In a blink of an eye, you are retiring from this place
Your departure may change us, but I'm here for you.
I will miss you but our friendship remains steadfast
There is room enough in life to make memories anew
You taught me how to make work meaningful and fun
In turn, I gave guidance on how job progress could be won
Now off you go, embrace life with arms open wide
My best wishes go with you, but our friendship is not done!

All the years we have worked together
I can think of nothing better
Then off into the sunset you go
Oh, my friend, your happiness shows.
So with these retirement days
We will find a way
To still be friends and do the things
That life without work will bring.
Our friendship will always be
Treasured and fun to every degree
Retirement changes nothing
Except no work, just living.

In the quiet dawn of your retirement day,
A new chapter unfolds, paving the way.
My dear friend, as you step into the light,
Excitement sparkles, oh, what a sight!
Possibilities dance in the morning air,
Adventures beckon, beyond compare.
Oh, the stories you'll gather, the tales you'll weave,
In the tranquil moments, may you find reprieve.
Through life's journey, hand in hand,
We've weathered storms, and walked on the sand.
Now, as you retire, spread your wings wide,
Embrace the unknown with joy and pride.
Cheers to the laughter, the memories untold,
To a future adorned in shimmering gold.
My dear friend, as you embark on this quest,
May retirement bring you endless zest.

As you retire and start anew,
I do feel a bit of envy of you.
But that won't compare to the joy I see
Which is radiating off of thee.
You put in so many hours and gave your all
What's in store for you, you will have a ball.
Your retirement will bring leisure days and grace,
Many winsome moments to embrace.
And although my envy shall not last long,
Truly I wish great things for you all along!
Happy Retirement my dear Friend,
Best wishes and happiness I do send.
