Hi to everybody...jotted down this little poem this afternoon...:)

Retirement

A time to pause, to reflect, to ponder
the past, the present and the future.
A time for relaxing, playing, beginning
a new phase of a life three score or more.

A time to let go of cares, worries, concerns,
to gather up the treasures in your mind.
A time to contemplate the meaning
and the purpose of your being.

A time to share, to dream, to journey
far and wide, or close to home.
A time of leisure, pleasure and delight
that freedom from work endows.

A time to find peace in mind and heart
and serenity after years of toil.
A time to recall briefly in the autumn
of your life a time when all will cease.

A time to retire from the daily grind
is a gift, not to be wasted with regrets.
A time recalled with joyful recognition
where two hearts can stroll together as one.

Great big hugs to one and all...
