Who would have thought?
June 21, 2017 was the date
I achieved my 35th Work Anniversary at Macy’s Corporate
I never had any idea that would survive
But it was a matter of grace being the strive
My exposure spans Administration to Technology
My Grandfather was right always become a commodity
It turned out to be a reality
I guess it was in the plan to achieve
The golden years I did receive
However, the Lord gets credit over and more
This is something that just couldn’t be ignored
Macy’s past slogan, “We are a part of your life”
That slogan has become my preserving advice
Achieve beyond
Yet accomplish more
That is my encouragement to others
It is also my message to young people
Strive to be the best
Let no take you for granted in labeling you less
If I can do it, so can anybody else
I am the example you can achieve it if you do it right
There were times of darkness of uncertainty, but I came through with a guiding light
I have been asked, “When do I plan to retire”?
Well is tomorrow too soon
I am not at retirement age
Too many people that would be an amaze
I am not at retirement yet
But that does come with a regret
But my work is far from done with blessings that I will continue being among.
