Retirement Poems
Retirement poems for a Colleague:
Although it is true that, we will all miss you, we know you deserve this new time in your life.
We will all be lost without your smile everyday.
We know that you deserve all the best that life has to offer.
You put in these long hours; you put in these long days,
Now its time for you to smile, to dance, to be at rest
Thank you, we are already missing you. We wish you a happy retirement.
Here is to wishing you all the best.
You are the world’s greatest friend and colleague.
A Kindred Retirement for a Life Long Friend:
The years have flown by.
Some have been good. Some have been trying,
Some years have been impossible.
However, I could always count on one thing.
That is your smiling face,
Your kindred spirit lifted me on friendship wings.
Your unflinching friendship kept me afloat when life seemed destined to sink my heart.
So now, the day of your retirement is upon us, All I can say is that I wish you all the best.
You have been here for me all these years. You have been my rock, my true north.
You were always my friend in the trenches.
What more can I say then you and your work made me a better person.
So now, as you move on with this next step in your life,
Always know that you will have a friend in me.
Here is to wishing you all the best in the years to come.
My kindred friend, a good rest is well deserved.
Retirement wishes for a parent
Mom you raised me to always place value in a hard days work.
You raised me to always value the dollar, and what it means.
Everyday you put in long hours, Sleepless nights, and worrisome afternoons,
Just to make sure I had what I needed, and what I wanted.
Now its time for you to take a break,
To stretch your arms out wide,
Breathe in life, and enjoy all the success and honors you have achieved.
Nevertheless, you should always know one thing,
You can never retire from being the greatest mom in the world.
You were always there for me, now its time for me to be there for you.

Buying A Retirement Gift
Retirement is an important phase of life that makes the retiree happy and sad at the same time. After working for years, one finally takes leave of the busy and hectic schedule and finds time for himself. However, it is not that simple to leave the job you have done for years and sit idle at home.
A retirement gift should be chosen in such a way that make the retiree happy, engrossed and must suit the interest of retired person. If you know that what the retiree is fond of, then the gift should be chosen according to his choices and hobbies. One of the best gifts that can be given to a retired person is a travel package to a tourist destination. Let him open his wings and see the world surrounding him with no worries of returning to work or worries of pending work. The travel package should be of sufficient days so that the retiree can enjoy the holidays to his content.
A collection of photographs in a nice album would make the occasion even more special for the retiree. Colleagues, friends or family members can present a photo album which cherishes the memories shared over a period of time. If the person is fond of reading, then presenting books would be the best thing to do. Books will not only make him happy and cheerful but also keep him immersed in the literature which would help him to overcome the nostalgic feeling of his job and work, which persists in every person for first few months after the retirement. The company where the retiree used to work can offer him shares and bonds of the organization which would make him feel attached to the company and also account to his savings. Presenting a timepiece, bouquet, music CD’s, jogging gear, golf gear; chocolate box and a wine bottle are other options that can be gifted to the retired person.
However, it should be understood that gift serve the occasion only; giving your time to the retired person is the most important thing to show your love and affection towards him.
I hope these ideas for mens gift (or even a woman) are helpful
