There isn't any possible critique to this, Beth. I love it. It's perfect, well worth the six. No faults, nothing to moan about (well, except Time seems to be racing fast these days).
Warmest wishes

I enjoyed you reflections on time's passage and the sad lose of past haunts and friends. I liked your highlighting the contrast between books and life regarding the potential for re-do's. I thought your last stanza provided strong "closure" for your poem.

I love this philosophical, yet heartwarming poem. The words are so true and you say it so nicely. The rhyme is perfect and the meter makes it easy to read.

A melancholy tale, this one, but one that filled me with the sense of life as I wrote it. This is no pithy repetition of commonly expounded opinion, it's an imparting of a truth that's as sad as it is irrevocable. Very nicely done.

    It was my pleasure, Beth, and sincere apologies for putting "as I wrote it" when I obviously meant "as I read it"! Brain is in a muddle today :-)

Wow, very powerful, BethShelby. So very true - we never know when things might be winding down; when something we're doing, some place we're going might be the final time. I guess the realization comes more and more as we age. I really enjoyed this thought provoking piece. Thanks for sharing, and take care,
heather

This was very good. In a few stanzas you managed to convey one of Life's greatest mysteries. Like any well-written poem, this verse said volumes more than was on the printed page. In a few places the beat was off, but a bit of tweaking could help that. Overall, I thought it was excellent. This poem said something very meaningful--something we all need to think about.
