The poem only has six lines. Each line starts with a letter from the word "retire". Here is part of the poem: Retire:now is the time to: Experience all that life has to offer, Take time to smell the roses, I Revitalize your dreams, and Embark on a new way of life. I can't remember the line with the I in it. I can't remember the poets name or where I found this the last time I searched for it. The person that is retired is a co-worker of mine. I am putting a book together for his retirement party and I am including some retirement poems. We work for the USPS and I can't seem to find any postal related poems, so I thought I would use the one above. any help would be greatly appreciated.
