Retirement Sample Poems

A retirement can be bitter sweet. On the one hand a person may be looking forward to retirement - more free time to enjoy hobbies and be with the family. On the other, there can a reluctance to leave behind the old life, especially friends and work colleagues that in retirement will be greatly missed.

On that last day in work or at the retirement party, a personalised retirement poem can provide a way of letting that person know just how much they are valued and will be missed, in both a poignant and humorous fashion.

I can create a retirement poem for a variety of uses such as:

  • A poem that forms your retirement speech, that you can deliver to your delighted audience.
  • A personalised retirement poem as a flyer, to outline the details of a forthcoming leaving party.
  • E-vites - Send you retirement party information /  thank you gift poem, by e-mail to your work colleagues.
  • A retirement poem to insert within your chosen card.
  • A poem to accompany a retirement gift.
  • A retirement poem to deliver with flowers (I can e-mail your retirement poem to the florist if required).
  • A retirement poem as a Thank you, to circulate in your workplace for the kind gifts and good wishes received.
  • A beautifully framed and mounted retirement poem with photo of the workteam / date.  For that special retirement gift that will act as a wonderful reminder of happy work days now past.                                             
     

For these examples I have included 2 retirement poems.

The first is a retirement poem for a favourite Hospital Consultant. 

The second a poem for a nursing colleague taking early retirement.
