Work Mates - Retirements

Keith

We will all miss the trivia.
Sport, movies, queens, the capital of Bolivia.
Your tilt at the seat, the most important chair.
Not the top job but with Eddie on Millionaire
It all leaves a big hunger, and let's up the ante.
Let's order a pizza, that would feed a small family.

Malcolm

The day it is coming, nearer and nearer
No more statistics and no more for JIRA
Fond are the memories, of all in the past.
Pleasant the feeling, close that last task.

Roger

Slam that door shut.
Make sure it's fully closed.
Driving off into the sunset.
Maximum rubber to the road.

Natalie

Breaking free!
I think you'll agree.
Is turning out well.
Escaping from 4GL hell.

Simon

Heaps more time for on-line gaming
Bandits at Barwon were only for training.
And whether on-line or travelling afar,
always make time for playing guitar.

Denise

The timing was awkward, or so it all seems.
But finally figured out, what it all means.
It's more time with family and trips overseas.
There's no more diistrations, no need to think twice.
Free, individual, a mother, grandmother and wife.
Enjoy your next adventure, your next stage of life.

Dehlia

Just think about all the spare time,
crafting and honing the perfect rhyme,
Accompanied by music, a beautiful country song.
Straight from the heart, where it should come from.

Valentines Day - February 2013

Valentines Day - February 2013

So many have tried, searched far and wide.
They gaze into the stars, others deep into their hearts.
The need to explain, just why it matters.
Their efforts are left, mostly in tatters.

It's the love of your wife.
It's the love of your live.
A certain mystery replete.
Which leaves you fulfilled and complete.

Birthday February 2013 - 36th Birthday

Frolicking around the garden, like a lady bird.
A little whisper, it may have been heard.
Freshly cut flowers, some fruit in the mix.
Our favourite garden fairy, turning thirty six.

Like the most beautiful tree in the garden.
Our eyes they adore, stare, please beg our pardon.
A birthday, a stepping stone to the next stage,
of growth and of life, turn the next page.

Birthday February 2013 - Matthew

Birthday February 2013 - Matthew

40 years is a long time in the shred scene.
Only a single bloke still playing so clean.
It's not Satriani or his good mate Steve Vai.
Although it's true, they do like to try.

Cannot imagine that a day has passed by.
Without a musical appendage sitting nearby.
Have a great day, an always upbeat mood.
Shredding so cleanly and shredding in tune.

Birthday March 2013 - Grandma

Birthday March 2013 - Grandma

Your wonderful age is now eighty five.
Your experience, life lessons, money cannot buy.
Your joys and your happiness, memory brings back.
Your life all the colours, white, through red, to evening dress black

Have a happy birthday
and enjoy the whole day.
With the clink of our glasses,
setting it on it's way.

5 Year Anniversary

5 Year Anniversary

When you reach five years,
they all talk of wood.
I'm recalling what has passed
and it's all been very good

Five milestones amongst many.
On the winding path of our lives.
As a team and on our own.
Our dreams, we work, we realise.

But when life throws distractions,
that seem to muddle the way.
I remember what really matters.
Our love for each other,
that we celebrate on this day

Birthday September 2012 - Aunt

Birthday September 2012 - Aunt

Our lives they come in stages
emerging as we pass through our ages

Like a caterpillar snuggling inside a cocoon
bursting free not too late or too soon

this stage is freedom, move through your day
twisting and turning any which way

enjoying your birthday, spreading your wings
a new lease on life, the joys it does bring
