this piece has some good thoughts in it, but I do see a bit more that can be found in your writing in the future. I think you will see what others write and how they portray their poetic avenues. This is a fairly good piece. I found it to be well written. It was my pleasure to have read and written a review for it... John

I enjoyed this poem which, in summary, says simply to make your own way, understand yourself and 'as (you) look down the farthest side of (your) life with age' realize that '(you are your own ) best friend.'

Proverbs 4:7 states:
'Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.'

Thank you for sharing. geo

Its so great!!!! i could never be that good, its perfect and doesn't need any adjustments at all. By the 2nd stanza it was already painting a picture in my mind. You have a gift with words, and i think you'll become a famous poet one day - you just wait

What a wonderful message within this poem. Yes, we are our own best friend, and if we can't live with ourself and do our very best, then what can we give to another? I liked this very much, and so glad that you posted...Sharon

I like this poem. It is well written and flows nicely. I also like the style. The poem and the picture go together very well, also. Keep up the good writing...You seem to have a lot to say and you say it well.

I think that the theme of being ones own
best friend is very good. For the heart
of this poem I am givin you a five star
rating, but I don't think the poem itself
is that creative or poetic. I hope you
don't mind my honesty. I do see your
sincere thoughts come through it.

Linda
