Retirement's a time we all hope to find, <br />With no clock to watch except in our mind. <br />The daily demands of the job that you choose, <br />Take its toll, and you worry, afraid you will lose <br />The thing you worked for all of the years <br />To leave only heartaches misery and tears <br /> <br />You are most fortunate to achieve your goal <br />And retire with health and family still whole. <br />With carefree days to spend as you will <br />If you like you can go and just sit on a hill <br />To take time to look and study the ground <br />And enjoy the beauty that's spread all around <br /> <br />A happy time of your life it should be <br />For there are a great many wonders to see <br />Free time to do the things in your dreams <br />To camp, hurt, or fish the crystal clear streams <br />To get close to nature on intimate terms <br />It's a good way to live as a person soon learns<br /><br />Mahfooz Ali<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/retirement-7/
