My staff in HR are the best of the lot
They are smart,they are hardworking and strive alot
They grit their teeth when times are rough
They are not afraid of work,easy or tough
Setbacks and problems they are not afraid to face
They welcome challenges ,they are not ones to laze
When the task is too big for one to solve
They rally as a team and the problem is resolved
To all HR staff I'd like to thank you
For all the support I received from you
I don't have presents to give all of you
Just these few words from the heart to describe you
My hands are shaking not due to nervousness
My voice is choking not due to the food
My eyes are watery not due to the pepper
My knees are wobbly not due to fear
I laugh loud to hide my sadness
I smile wide to hide the tears
A phase of my life has come and gone
It's time to move on to new frontiers
I am quite poor at saying hello
I am surely worse at saying goodbye
Hope our paths will cross tomorrow
But for now this is "Goodbye"
(The above poem was composed and recited during my retirement farewell dinner )
