Blog Prompt: Let's write a poem. Try a haiku, rhyming, or any other style you like.
Approaching Retirement
As I get ready for retirement
I look all around.
I think about what I’m leaving
For adventures that will abound.
It’s sad to leave my career of teaching,
And worry that memories will fade.
It’s sad to leave my students
And miss all the progress they’ve made.
I hope that I’ve been able
To touch many lives
And hope I’ll continue to do so
When a new challenge arrives.
I don’t know where I’m headed
And if I’ll know when I reach it.
But I know I’ll enjoy trying
And have fun every minute.
As I get ready for retirement

And miss all the progress they’ve made.
I hope that I’ve been able

When a new challenge arrives.
I don’t know where I’m headed
And if I’ll know when I reach it.
But I know I’ll enjoy trying
And have fun every minute.
