Updated 2026. My mother passed at age 97 (2024) RIP. I will be updating this site so I can help retirees again. Write to me!

I love to write poems. So here's one.

Here we are retired...
Sometimes so alone...
But we must take the changes...
And fix them for our own.

We can choose a hobby...
there's a world of things to do...
Or we can rest and watch t.v...
I do that, don't you?

So enjoy your retirement...
Do the things you want right now...
Don't think of Retirement as the end...
Just let it be a big ole WOW!

What a lovely little poem you created. It's nice and short and will be easy to remember.

Thanks so much for brightening my day!

I Love Poetry
by: Canadian Retiree

Love your poem. It puts retirement in a better perspective for me.

I started out hating my retirement and feeling lost but as your poem expresses I’ve found things to do and how to keep busy.

It’s a learning curve but getting better. Thanks
