After thirty years the day of decision has come <br />It is time to consider quitting and reducing stress <br />You fear you will be bored and have the doldrums <br />Time to slow the rapid pace and go out for recess. <br /> <br />It’s a good idea to take time for some relaxation <br />Working overtime results in multi-digit taxation <br />Take a boat and paddle to a quiet fishing spot <br />Retirement is your reward for that stomach knot <br /> <br />Lift the years of pleasing the boss and immobility <br />Place them on the table next to responsibility <br />Let someone else be at the controls; take a cruise <br />It’s time to put away those heavy work shoes <br /> <br />1/27/08<br /><br />Theresa Ann Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/retirement-14/
