Song lyrics: "Ruth and Sam", a 30th anniversary song
Verse 1
Summer of '96, the county fair, Sam threw rings and missed them every time. Ruth just laughed and tossed one from her chair, Won the goldfish for a single dime. He said, "Well, I guess I owe you a dance," She said, "Only if you lead me right." Neither one of them stood a chance: They were dancing till the end of night.
Chorus
Thirty years and you're still turning Like the wheel above that fair, Thirty years, the lights still burning, Ruth and Sam, you're always there.
Verse 2
Then a rented house with a leaking roof, And a crib you painted in the hall, Three kids running round as living proof That a goldfish really started it all. Late shifts, school runs, birthday cakes, Saturday pancakes, Sunday rain, Whatever life would give or take, You found each other's hand again.
Chorus
Thirty years and you're still turning Like the wheel above that fair, Thirty years, the lights still burning, Ruth and Sam, you're always there.
Bridge
And if the music ever slows, If the lights go dim someday, We know just how the story goes: He'll take her hand and lead the way.
Verse 3
Tonight the garden lights are glowing, The grandkids chasing round the tree. Dad blames his tears on wind that's blowing, And Mom just winks across at me.
Final chorus (×2)
Thirty years and you're still turning Like the wheel above that fair, Thirty years, the lights still burning, Ruth and Sam, you're always there.
Performance note: the chorus works as a sing-along; the last line can be repeated slowly a cappella to finish.

About this service
A retirement or farewell poem is read in front of the whole team, often by someone who is not used to public speaking, so it must be easy to say, gently funny and personal enough that the colleague recognises themselves in it. We write an original poem from the details you give us: years at the company, habits everyone knows, shared projects, what the team will miss and what lies ahead for them. The humour stays kind, so nobody in the room feels awkward.

- 2WritingWe write a warm, personal poem
- 3DeliveryYou read it at the farewell
What we need from you
The colleague's name and role, years at the company, funny habits and well-known stories, what they are moving on to, who will read the poem, the tone (heartfelt, playful or both) and the language.
We will ask you:
- Who is leaving, and why?
- Which habits or stories does everyone know?
- Who will read the poem, and at what kind of event?
- Should it be more heartfelt or more playful?
