New Chapter

As I turn back the pages of my life,
I relive the chapters that have transpired.
Thinking, how did I get here,
What did I acquire?

I made a family, a career,
A difference in so many lives.
Now in a blink of an eye,
A new chapter, a new sunrise.

Life filled with new adventures.
Time to enjoy, relax, and explore,
Take advantage of new experiences, creative avenues,
And stroll along the seashore.

Let time be consumed with newfound activity,
Blossoming friendships and unmeasurable pleasure!
This is retirement, the new chapter!
Redefining, exciting, self-reliant, indulging in new treasure.
