Right on the day we enter <br />Know well that we will quit the center <br />With the bonus of extended sixty <br />Well served with grace and plenty <br />Why then the fear and feeling <br />Of depression and desolation right to the ceiling! <br /> <br />Retirement is not the end of life <br />Sure it's blossom of a lovely life <br />That makes a gentle gesture <br />Yielding place to the youthful texture! <br /> <br />God's gift of hundred years <br />To be lived in peace without tears <br />In serenity and dignity all the way <br />Relax, reflect, recapture in a sweet sway! <br /> <br />Nature offers mirth and joy <br />Young or old can sure enjoy <br />Sick in person not a bar <br />Sick in mind sure to abhor! <br /> <br />Love the world, love its mold <br />Love thy work, love thy life <br />Love thy neighbor, love thy labor <br />Love the sky, love the stars <br />Love the Nature, love its rapture <br />Love is reciprocal, sip its bliss! <br /> <br />(As an advice to those who feel desolate on retirement)<br /><br />Subbaraman N V<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/blossom-of-a-lovely-life/
