Beautiful! While I read this wonderful poem, I listen to Chopin - Fantasie-Impromptu Op.66. Many images of busy time are running before my eyes, but the one that I cannot take my eyes away is the withered hands, raised up and warmed by a kind sun! Who would not wish to hold those hands that grasp a pen that put our busy world at hold to lure us with great wisdom taught! Thank you!
Very powerful and moving; words meant for every human being. You speak with wisdom and experience, and it makes for superb poetry.
Excellent poem Joe.So much to do, and so little time to do it in I feel.
A very very touching write...! ! With the honesty of thought and the beauty of rhyme, this poem when it comes from an octogenarian is specially appealing! No line is out of place... A sure 10
Very well written Sonnet, Joseph. To take us along the path of memories is a very nice thing to do. I love to read about the feelings of people of great wisdom and age. You are a great poet. Keep writing.
Another fine sonnet Joseph. May I make just one little observation. I think the second line would flow better if you changed it to read 'through triumphs, victories and much defeat.'
Well spoken of the follies of youth overtaken by the wisdom of age... I tip my hat to you, Sir! ... and to your pen.
