Retirement poems for Dad: It is common for fathers to be the main provider for a family. They often will spend their entire adult lives working long work weeks, countless hours, and putting up with enormous stress to provide for their families, put food on the table, and make sure that their family did not have to go without. So when the time finally comes for your father to hand them up and retire from his career, say congratulations with one of these poems and give him a big thank you for all that work over the many years of his career.

Have A Great Retirement Dad

For years I have watched you tinker
in the shop with oil stained gloves.
I have watched you wait in earnest to do all that you love.

to hang your suit and pick the fruit
your efforts have to bear!
Happy Retirement Dad!

Happy Retirement Dad!

My father taught me what is means
to be a working man.
He has both feet firmly planted
on the solid ground.
His word is his honor,
and his actions lead the way.
Much applause for my brilliant father! He is retiring today!
22
After years of late nights with us kids
and early mornings off to work
After ten thousand phone calls
and a million cups of coffee
and billions of smiles
and years of tiring work
all to see us happy
you finally get to rest.
Happy retirement!
23
You’ve put in your hours
you’ve paid all your dues
now it’s time to relax
and do whatever you choose!
Will you fish, will you garden
will you golf, will you sleep?
Whichever you choose, you deserve it –
you’re a dad that can’t be beat!
24
You have worked so hard
for so many years
to get me wherever I wanted,
and wherever you needed me to go.
You have done so much
to help me achieve my dreams
and I thank you.
Now it’s time for you to take
a well-deserved rest
and let me show you
how well you’ve done.
25
Daddy, I want to congratulate you
On a lifetime of work
I know you never stopped,
You never shirked
But now you’re done
And you can rest
And never forget
That you were always the best
Happy retirement to a wonderful father!
26
Dear Daddy
Can you believe you’re ready to retire?
I bet it feels just like yesterday
You were working so hard you perspired
But now you can take a rest, or maybe not
Do things that give you enjoyment,
Happy retirement!
27
You’ve worked so hard all your life
Now it’s time to take a break
Enjoy life for now and for always
Maybe sleep in, maybe learn to bake
You can do anything now
Just relax and rest
Or hey, you could learn to milk a cow
Happy Retirement
28
After all of these years
You’ve put in your work
Never once from responsibility
Did you shirk
So now it’s your time
It’s your time to retire
And after being my dad
This may require
Extra rest and relaxation
So take time for you
It’s time that you finally
Are given your due
29
Dad, thank you
For all the hard work that you did
To raise and support me
When I was a kid
But now it’s your time
To retire and go
Into your golden chapter
And just take things slow
30
It’s time for a change
Time for you to retire
To do all the things
That you’ve only aspired
To do when you worked hard
To make your own wage
So now is the time
To begin a new age
Of doing things ’cause you want to
And not ’cause you must
May your retirement find you
Relaxed and robust
31
Thank you for everything, your hard work especially
You put bread on the table and clothes on our back
Cars in the garage and bikes on the rack
You’ve put me through school and sent me abroad
Now enjoy your time with an approving nod
32
Your job was a major part of your life
But you also have children, friends, and a wife
Now there is time that you can give to them
Take for yourself and finally win
So enjoy it now, this brand new chapter
And let me know how it goes, not now,
But after.
33
You’ve worked so hard all of your life
every single day
Now it’s your time
So spend it your way
With nothing you have to do
And nothing you have to say
Retirement rocks, so get carried away!
Happy retirement Dad
