Retirement poems for dad: Happy retirement poems for father
Retirement poems for dad: Make your old man’s retirement a celebration that is worthy of all the decades of hard work and commitment he’s shown towards his job and family. Have a little family get-together as you celebrate the end of your father’s career. Write a short poem on a greeting card and present it to him as a keepsake while you say a few nice words in a speech at the family dinner table. After all, if your dad can work all his life to provide for his wife and kids, showing gratitude and making his retirement a memorable affair is the least you can do.
1) Throughout your life
You have worked hard
All the long hours

But now is the time to redeem
All your life’s work
Most of the responsibilities
You can rightfully shirk
Congratulations for reaching
This milestone finally
You are an inspiration
For your friends and family
Happy retirement

A phase which is new
You will able to do things
That you’ve always wanted to do

For a graceful period of life

Permanently
Now you have become
An old retiree
Tending to the garden
Is all that you have to do
It is now time to begin
Your life anew
Happy retirement
4) Dear dad…
On your retirement today
You have to make us one promise
You will use all the free time
To help your kids
You will babysit your grandchildren
At any given time
You will also do other grandpa duties
Without expecting a dime
You will host the best family dinners
Which we will all attend
You will also splurge some of your savings
To buy gifts and spoil us till no end
Happy retirement
5) Dear dad…
It will be unusual
To see you in the house
Becoming a typical retiree
Grumpy and full of grouse
To see you annoying mom
It will be so funny
But that’s what retirement is for
Congratulations daddy
6) Cleaning the shelves
Moving the lawn
Babysitting the grandkids
Taking household chores, hands on
Doing the laundry
Clearing up the kitchen’s mess
After your retirement
Dad, say goodbye to happiness
7) A dream come true
Is what your retirement really is
You have won the admiration and respect
Of your family and your colleagues
Be proud of yourself, dad
For being such a great inspiration
We hope to follow your footsteps
To one day, become your reflection
Happy retirement
8) Dear dad…
You’ve had the best
Career of all
You have accomplished a lot
Always having stood tall
You have set
Quite an example
For everyone around
You were quite special
But now that your work life
Comes to a glorious finish
Happy retirement to you
Is all that I wish
9) On one hand we are sad
On the other we are happy
Now you will be home
To bug everyone daily
While we will be able
To spend more time together
Annoying and bothersome like you
There will be no other
Jokes apart dear dad
We are glad about your retirement
It is time to welcome a phase
Of fun and enjoyment
10) You can now relax by the sea
Without worrying about at work, being an absentee
Now you can sit at home sipping tea
Without stressing about the corporate tree
Now to your bosses, you don’t have to agree
Now you are a man of your own will, totally free
Dad, you are no longer an employee
Now you are a retiree
Happy retirement
11) Start dreaming about your free life
Start thinking about how you will keep busy
Start doing the things you never did
Start being happy and carefree
Start planning your vacations
Start looking for new hobbies
Start organizing family get-togethers
Star thinking like a retiree
Happy retirement
12) Your retirement is a loss for your employer
Today your company has lost a warrior
Your retirement is again for your family
Today your kids have got back their father
We all look forward to catching up
Over family barbecues and dinners
Now we will never be disturbed
By the annoying beeps on your pager
Happy retirement dad
13) Now that we work ourselves
We realize what it must have taken
For you to work tirelessly day and night
Without being shaken
You have worked all these years
Without creating any fuss
A great inspiration, a real motivation
This is what you are to us
Happy retirement dad
14) Never being told what to do
Always being showered with hugs and kisses
Playing with the grandkids
Enjoying a romantic evening with the missus
Having meals with your children frequently
Catching up with long lost friends
Dear dad, the joys of being a retiree
You will enjoy till no end
Happy retirement
15) Retirement is not the end of your worries
It is actually the beginning of more
Your wife’s nagging will annoy you
Being treated like an oldie will be a sore
But in return, life will give
You a lot to look forward to
A lot of free time to do all the things
You have always wanted to
Happy retirement
16) Never again
Will your boss have his way
Let’s celebrate
This special day
However, the flip side
Is that now you will have a new boss
Your wife will order you around
All your free time will go for a toss
Happy retirement
17) Dear dad…
This is now your time
To put your feet up and relax
No longer will you have to worry
About work, assignments or tax
Your retirement is just days away
I bet life seems to have flown by
Enjoy this once in a lifetime moment
To hectic days, say goodbye
Happy retirement
18) Put away your suit and tie
Bring out your cozy jammies
Put away your shiny black shoes
Bring out your flip-flops and feel free
Forget stepping foot in the corporate corridors
Now it is time to sit back on your rocking chair
Forget all the stressful deadlines
Now it is time to live without a care
Happy retirement dad
19) Dad, you’ve always liked to keep yourself busy
I wonder how you will cope up with always being free
The first few days of retirement will be a sheer enjoyment
After that, boredom may cause in your life, a small dent
But knowing the kind of man that you are
I am sure you will squeeze the best out of this life’s beautiful phase
Because you have always embraced positivity and optimism
Your retirement will certainly be full of fun, happiness and grace
Happy retirement
20) Your grandkids will finally get to spend
A lot of time with their grandpa
They will curiously listen to your stories
As you go blah, blah, blah
You have a chance to be a role model
You can inspire your grandchildren
With your towering personality
And most importantly, your life’s wisdom
Happy retirement
21) Your wife will say welcome back
Your boss will say goodbye
Your children will say well done
Your grandkids will probably cry
Your friends will say cheers
Your colleagues will say farewell
Your family will say hurray
I Am Free, is what you will probably yell
Happy retirement
22) Dad, one of the biggest advantages of being a retiree
Is that you will be the master of your own will
But retirement also comes with a few obligations
Which through your spine, might send a chill
Now you won’t be able to excuse yourself out
Of family get-togethers, dinners and other events
Because you won’t be able to use work
As an excuse to be absent
So be prepared to bring out your social butterfly
This is something you will have to do
Whether you like it or not
On that note, happy retirement to you
23) Dad, it is great that you have retired
But never become complacent in life
Make every single day count
Live it up with your kids and wife
Go out, travel, pick up a new hobby
Keep yourself busy, do something new
This is the secret to enjoying retirement
Wishing the very best to you
24) Dad, as your career comes to an end
We are all very proud of you
You have not just provided for the family
You have spoilt us silly too
You have sacrificed and toiled
It will be difficult to fill your shoes
But we will try out best
That is the least we can do
Happy retirement
25) Such a wonderful career you have had
Simply exemplary, truly motivational
All your colleagues have nothing but praise
For the man who has always been inspirational
Everyone in your family are indebted to you
For the level of commitment you have shown
Dad, by setting the perfect example of how a life should be
The seeds of success in our lives, you have sown
Happy retirement
