It’s time to say good bye
To friends and foes alike
To forget and forgive one and all
Relive and relent bygone days
Tiresome days, sleepless nights
Treacherous peers, endless calls
Terrifying reviews, tedious travels
Midnight oil spent on files
Endless meetings, restless life
Adieu to one and all
All these for you to hold
Happily I leave you all
To chase a passion kept on hold

I was definitely built to be a gentleman of leisure forced to work most of my life for a crust by virtue of my poor selection of parents who were of themselves poor.
Relief some twenty years ago came with retirement...never regretted for one instant.
But your piece says it all neatly...no need for commentary at all.....
Retired from forced labor, to pursue adventures - make it memorable. Cheers
I can sympathise with the sentiments of your poem - I am long retired and enjoying all the new pursuits that work didn't allow - Enjoy yours to the full - The Third Age! Cheers John
