Susan Waltman - Before Retirement

The days are getting wonderfully Shorter now

To make them longer I don’t want to know how

From all of you I will soon have to depart

But, you will always remain in my heart

I will miss you, that I can say is true

My being will be feeling blue

Not about leaving the job for retirement ahead

More of not seeing all of you I will dread

Don’t forget the laughter and unique times we had to do

For I won’t forget what I went through with all of you

Some were the foundation of my working day

Many were my humor needed in every way

Few were trials to make a working day feel longer

And those that left before me made me stronger

If I happen to meet you another day

I will let you know if I am doing ok

And now the last thing to say as I said before

I will miss you all when I walk out the door

Susan Waltman
