After my retirement
AFTER MY RETIREMENT
====================
And I got retired respectfully
After serving forty years
The speeches were made in honor
and I was seen off with a vote of thanks
But I was never happy after that occasion
Thinking I am still better than my colleagues
How can I become nothing after my retirement
Within a days, my life has gone in depression
The neighbor told me ,now I am not the same man
That made me more sad
The people told me, now I am an old man
That made me more mad
The old colleagues appreciated the retired one
For their vacating a seat for the young men
They invited me on retirement ceremony of office peon
With a phrase,"If new is silver
Then old is gold,and Gold is never old
Thanks our seniors experience to make us bright and bold
Their love made me happy to shed tears
Now young men times to work and cheers
~~~~~Jawahar Gupta~~~~~
