Here is a happy retirement poem to reinforce in each of us that retirement is meant to be a peaceful and happy experience no matter when one retires, or whether one chooses an un-retired or semi-retired lifestyle.
A Happy Retirement Poem from My Heart
Happy Retirement Poem Comes True
Happy or not
Here we come
Here we come
Our Happy Retirement has just Begun
So many years
Have flown on by
Not sure whether to
Celebrate or cry
A New Beginning
Rather than an end
A tremendous opportunity
To set a new trend
A trend of Engagement
Embracing our life
No time for boredom
Or any inner strife
Embracing our passion
Leads us to excel
Leaving no room
For any inhibiting spell
Happy or not
Here we come
Here we come
Our Happy Retirement has just Begun
Brace for the unexpected
With wonder and peace
Each step we take
Our confidence will only increase
Time to reinvent
Certain aspects of our lives
No time to hesitate
When it’s all High Fives
Retired or not
The choice is always ours
We are the creator
Of where our happiness lies
Time to let go
Of any fear or distress
Our retirement dreams
Are meant to impress
Happy or not
Here we come
Here we come
Our Happy Retirement has just Begun
Our retirement plans
Have been previously set
By a part of our Selves
That we have just met
This Self is a stranger
As we merely forgot
That any limitation
Is not part of our plot
Our happy retirement dream
Has come into view
It is now perfectly aligned
And about to come true
Our authentic Self
Is now in control
It’s time to sit back
And go with the Flow
Happy or not
Here we come
Here we come
It’s not only a Happy Retirement Dream
It’s Who we have Become!

A Happy Retirement Dream is What We Deserve
This stage of life, regardless of age, is no time to slow down in areas of our lives of which we are most passionate. We each are unique and have a specific purpose within, recognized or not, for which we are driven to accomplish.
Our happiness is tied to this purpose. Some have discovered it early in life, while for others it is a more gradual awakening. Becoming conscious and aware of this purpose will contribute to a life full of wonder, mystery, and anxious anticipation of what the new day brings.
It is never too late to identify our purpose and engage in life with new vigor and zest. A little bit of inner reflection and contemplation will do the trick. It is there staring us in the face; we have been merely distracted and focused elsewhere.
As part of my intuitive coaching, I do use intuitive poetry to access parts of the mind that contain valuable information that has merely lied dormant waiting for discovery. It is an interesting vehicle to use to access those stubborn parts of ourselves.
I look forward that this happy retirement poem inspires all to move forward with confidence and with the inner knowing that all is good and that we are all cared for by a loving Universe. Many happy retirement wishes to all.
May you engage with your very own poetry within,
Joseph William

Very beautiful poem. I will be sure to bookmark it and use it the day my parents decide to retire. They are approaching the retirement age so this will be the perfect way to send them off. It is also very well-written. Thank you so much for this wonderful article.
Thank you, Daniel. Your comments are most appreciated.
Yes if we live long enough those golden years will come so we should do what we can now so when those golden years finally arrive we will be happy as one chapter closes in our lives and a new one opens that’s bright and shiny. Let’s prepare for this time of life.
Thanks, Norman. I totally agree. Each moment of our lives is precious for so many reasons. All the very Best.
