Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written short poem about how our perspective on life change when we get older and see what is more important than before. We find memories become more precious as we age.

What a wonderful sentiment you've shared through the words of your poem. I agree...edges become softer and we cherish memories much more. Well-written. You have a perfect contest entry. Good luck.

Comment from Mark D. R.
do like the softness of illustration and verse and background color
'veil of time' is a terrific image
but text is way to small to easily read; maybe bold it too if you raise the font size a bit
consider combining lines two and three into one line: 'as' looks lonely by itself (-;

We all change as we grow, and our memories of certain situations fade. Our hearts begin to remember the good and not the bad. Your poem emphasizes this well. The picture compliments your wonderful words. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, over time details get a little fuzzy and we tend to remember mainly the good things in our past. And as we mature, we are wise enough to let the rest go. Maybe it's best that way! Thanks for reading and sharing your insights.
Comment from Fizzz
A nice nod to the way that as time passes, we sometimes remember things through rose tinted glasses. It's easy when looking back on memories to forget the negative and focus more on the things that made us happy.

I liked your words here because it is so true we remember with a sweeter and softer nature as we age and memories fall into the distant past, best wishes, love Dolly x

Comment from robyn corum
Dear Mystery Poet,
This is so true. And I think this is absolutely a gift of God. *smile*
All those elementary and high school moments when we were such idiots -- with the passage of time, we can convince ourselves, and perhaps even others, that those moments weren't NEAR as bad as once thought.
And as our marriages age, it's funny how memories of horrid, crippling battle-royales give way to simple, quiet, nights by the fire, or watching TV, in comfortable silence.
Time glazes all.
This was lovely. Much good luck to you!

Comment from Dean Kuch
True 'dat, Anonymous Poet.
Sometimes our memories become cloudy and unclear and often deceive us into believing things were better than they actually were.
Just as gossip grows to mammoth proportions with each and every retelling, our fonder memories do much the same.
Nicely penned, and in just fifteen short words at that.
Well done, best of luck to you in the contest.
