About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write. Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground. Kiya's gift. I love it!

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.

Let these words inspire your writing today: determine, retire, vision, struggle, midnight, company, influence, and retiree.

----------------

The transition into retirement can be a tough one for some employees, as it was very difficult for my husband, but he got over it by working for a couple of half-time companies that provided him with odd jobs all over the US until he was 81. That was when I asked him to stop because I didn't like that his health was deteriorating. Speaking for myself, I never worked for any company. I worked solo as I was doing translations and some academic work.

Aside from our personal data, a retiree's experience during their golden years may be shaped and determined by the company they worked for, the support and influence they received, and the hopes they had for their retirement. A company can influence the retirement experience, the struggles faced by retirees, and the importance of fostering a positive retirement vision.

If the company was one that didn't provide well for the retirement of its employees, in addition to emotional struggles, financial ones add on to the unhappiness of the retiree. On the other hand, such situations, similar to some midnight bad dreams, can be avoided. A company can support their employees with retirement planning seminars, offer resources for pursuing hobbies and interests, and create connection between retiree communities.

In conclusion, ensuring a positive retirement for their employees is what makes a successful company rewarding to work for, also. After all, who wouldn't want to work for a company that thinks about the well-being of its employees, at work and when they retire, afterwards?
