5 Retirement Poems For Friends

Many friendships are developed at work. Use these retirement poems when your friends retire. While we will miss them we are also happy for them and can't wait to join them in retirement. Or perhaps we have already retired and they are now joining us for fun filled days of life as a retiree. It is important to realize that friendship does not have to end because of a retirement - a true friendship will remain long after the person no longer works.

Hopeful Beginnings
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.

Retirement is the start of your life. Live as if every moment counts, because, it does!

Forever And A Day
Poet: C. A. Lynch

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 strike.

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.

Congratulations
Poet: Tom S. Gold

Congratulations to day is the day
You join the retirement way.
You are going to love this new life
No more work and no more strife.

My friend we can do the things
That to us happiness brings
I am so happy for you
Can't wait to see what you do.

May your retired life allow you to live your life and pursue all the things that you never had the time to do when you were working.

A New Stage
Poet: Poet: C. A. Lynch

Retirement is a new stage
It doesn't mean you have aged.
You see, my friend
Retirement is not the end.

It is the beginning of something new
Every day can be an adventure too
So enjoy this stage that life brings
A time to do your own thing!

Off Into The Sunset
Poet: Tom S. Gold

All the years we have worked together
I can think of nothing better
Than 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.
