This is a really beautiful write with a lovely picture to go with your words. There is so much sweetness when one has lived well and can grow old with family around them.

Great writing. You give us a glimpse of a humble life and honest joy in a rhyming story. These are the stories that made America envied and great. Good luck with the contest, cheers, j

I like it. It was well written and it rolled off the tongue with ease. It puts ff a feeling of love and understanding teaching a lesson that the man has learned through his living years.

This is the most touching and true poem I have read on this subject of aging. It builds to such a satisfying and believable ending. So sweet and truthful.

Hello to you author
I read you poem about how it feels getting older each day the part that caught my attenuation is

this year the man turns eighty-three.
The hall mirror reflects a lie,
that can't be him, he still feels young

I myself still feel young when I see myself in my mirror being 83 this year

A beautiful poem reminiscent of another time that seems so long ago-sadly- when life seemed to make a lot of sense and people were 'real'- not phony!!
