Enjoy Your Retirement
by David Pekrul
copyright 02-07-2006


Age Rating: 7 to 127

 
A milestone has come and now you can leave,
(No more working from nine until five),
To live out your dreams and do as you please,
Not needing this job to survive.

You can sleep until noon; stay up until dawn,
No need to ‘be here’ or ‘be there’,
Go out on the town and really get down,
Or relax in your old underwear.

Whatever you do, it’s all up to you,
The time is now yours; go enjoy it.
Take time for yourself and kick up your heels,
The world’s at your feet; go explore it.

This is not a “goodbye”, it’s a “see you next time”,
And I wish you God’s blessings each day,
May you always be happy and never regret,
This day as you go on your way.

I'm only 14 and I can't wait until my retirement ;) But I've been told it's the other way around with sleeping in, and that the older you get that harder it is to sleep in!

David: I'm waiting breathlessly for that day when I can roll over in bed and sleep another couple of hours. But it's far off and only a dream! Just think of the he things we can accomplish on our own, in our own sweet time. That's a glorious word - retirement! I know I'll use that time off to the fullest.

Very well put, I speak from experience.
I now wonder how I ever found the time to run my business.
Now my week seems to consist of only four days, it goes so quickly.
The only thing that I miss is indulging myself by having a sneaky sleep in.
It's just the reverse, I usually wake with the dawn and get up for coffee.
Brian

Cute. I see this as a reversion to childhood, freedom from responsibility and the weariness of adult life. Many people probably look at retirement as an end, and would probably rather have this kind of mindset in their golden years.
