Comment from Senyai
I must say, age does become you, Roy! Excellent verse and impeccable rhyme. What would you call your verse, sir? Is it a type of sonnet in iambic pentameter?
Trying to learn all my poetry forms again. I'm a bit rusty.
Enjoyed your work and hope to read more soon.

Comment from scd41
Your poem is thought-provoking. It all depends upon how success is defined. Materialistic success or political power brings other head aches. As one ages, he learns from experience and gains wisdom to accept true love as not only permanent but also satisfying. A well written poem..

Comment from LeslieP5
The body may weaken with age, but not the internal soul "My eyes grow dim not so my sight" and "Though limbs won't move their litheness spent Within my heart my hope's content." A younger you "once grew dreams on objects seen And built my life on profit's glean; But one by one my dreams would stall Consigned to chance, and doomed to fall". Now older and wiser, you realize it is not success but love that is the lasting value that makes one whole. Well done.

Comment from happykat4
If I had a six, I would have given it to you! This is so beautiful. I felt so calm when I read this. Your faith is deep and Roy, I love that you know how full your life has been and your soul is content too. I know you will go to heaven to be with our Father when he calls you. Your poem talks about what was in your life when you were young, but you make it very clear, that NOTHING in this world will be as wonderful as your walk with God. Thank you for sharing your faith. To know Christ and to make Him known...you have a wonderful gift and you give. Blessings!! Kathy

Comment from Pam (respa)
-I like this poem very much. It has a lot to say about aging, youth, changing, and beliefs.
-I liked the rhyme and meter that gave a very nice flow to the poem. The images were also very good.
-Some of the things I particularly like are:
* "When I reflect on turbid youth
those tattered dreams that maze of truth" I think most people can relate to experiences in youth, where more than likely we knew most everything and just forged ahead.
* "I once grew dreams on objects seen
And built my life on profit's glean" I imagine a good number of people can relate to this, as well. Some go through their whole life with this goal in mind.
-The last line is excellent.

Comment from Ben Colder
I was thinking about ageing and how it affects each differently. Mine with eye problems perhaps, yours as well. Mary and I are 77 and holding 39. LOL.

Doesn't matter about the body, brother Ben, the spirit is eternal, and well get a new one anyway, bless you, YBIC. Roy.
Comment from Writingfundimension
'Celestial river, so deep the flow,
It feeds my soul my spirit's glow,
This fire cannot be quenched,
Nor feet be moved, from God be wrenched.'
Elegant writing, as always, Roy. Loved the poem!
