Being past the 'midpoint, ' I can read this without squirming, thinking it is aimed at me. It is well-done, thoughtful, and whoever it is aimed at will certainly not know it. That's the part about being at that arrogant part of life. Ah, the things we learn! Raynette

Michael...I have to squirm a little, thinking that I could fit this picture. It's nice to see a clearly written poem without cliches and without an emphasis on rhyme, which doesn't usually add much. The lack of periods, etc., draws attention. This one gets a ten. Good work.

Spoken with wisdom and talent, Michael. Is this directed at anybody in particular, or just a general musing?
