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
