Wednesday @ Work Poem: A Question of Retirement

September 23, 2009 by David Zinger Leave a Comment

Retire?

Is work a race from wire to wire?

What will we do when we are no longer hired?

Did work leave us mired in loss of our selves?

Was our personal life put away on the shelves?

Did work feel like one bad flat tire?

Or during our days were we fully on fire?

When we retire who will stand up and say that we mattered?

Will we leave our work hearing praise and be flattered?

Think ahead to that final day.

Don’t leave the thought too far away.

You only work in moments in time.

Ensure your moments are  prime.

Reach out so you matter for all who you touch,

You will then leave work with so very much.
