Janice Canerdy Poet Acrostic

Retirees

Relinquishing the time clocks of the past,
Emerging from the glory and the grind,
Transformed throughout those years that went so fast,
Inspired by dreams, you leave those days behind.
Rebirth awaits with chances fresh and new. 
Embark upon bold journeys; bravely go.
Ephemeral, sweet life still beckons you,
So plant your seeds and watch your future grow.

Hannington Mumo November 12, 2015 at 12:09 PM True - retirement should be a time to rest, not to regret and languish. You have communicated this with the easy flair of a natural poet...#7 Janice Canerdy November 12, 2015 at 4:56 PM I LOVE this comment! Thank you so much, Hannington. Janice
