The career comes to an end,
like an era in time.
All good things end,
melt away.
A job, a passion,
terminates.
Life is a book,
marked by chapters.
Retirement is the prologue,
to what comes after.
More than an end,
a beginning.
Genesis of a new life.
No more deadlines.
No clocks to watch.
No bosses to answer to.
No bosses to entertain.
The retiree is the guaranteed lottery winner.
The heart filled with relief.
Accomplishment.
Retirement is a goal all aim for.
Anxiously await the AARP notice.
Enjoy retiree,
it is deserved.
