Retirement? <br />Retire man, so what! <br />’Tis just a natural thing <br />That many tend to do. <br /> <br />’Tis not the end; <br />’Tis a beginning, dear friend; <br />’Tis a Godsend; <br />And He will fend. <br /> <br />So, keep your calm; <br />Retirement’s a balm, <br />For wearied body, mind! <br />A new happiness, you’ll find. <br /> <br />And God will take you, <br />In a newer direction; <br />With Heaven as goal, <br />Why then worry, pal? <br /> <br />Cheer up man! <br />And pray as fervently as you can; <br />Life will be fine, <br />Once again. <br /> <br />God will provide; <br />God will decide; <br />Just rest awhile <br />And wear a smile. <br /> <br />Today will be gone; <br />The morrow will be born; <br />God will your life adorn <br />When comes a new morn! <br /> <br />A new door opens, right today; <br />Despair not brother, ne’er, nay! <br />This is your great DAY! <br />You’ll soon be in your new way! <br />God bless you!<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-retirement/
