Wonderful message and thoughts, written in a rhyme scheme that moved me quickly through. All of us have ups and downs, but you're right about love. In the end, it comes closer to defining success. Bill

Favorite diction moments:
litheness , turbid.
The concept of love being the only thing in which makes us whole is so true. Appreciate and respect the biblical references, "to gain the whole world yet lose one's soul".
The rhythm was good, but made the endings predictable to me. Hard to avoid when the rhyming is so structured, could be just me.

Comment from robina1978
Nice title, that will attract people. You are content, as is your soul. When young you had so many dreams. One by one they stalled. But at the end it is only love that makes one whole. Nice rhyme and flow.

Comment from BeasPeas
This is wonderful. Enjoyed it completely and I guess age becomes me, too. Your poem is filled with contentment, gratitude, and appreciation of a journey. These are my favorite lines:
"Celestial river, so deep the flow,
It feeds my soul my spirit's glow,
This fire within cannot be quenched,
Nor feet be moved, from God be wrenched."

Comment from JustJenny12345
This is lovely. It's nice to see people not hating the fact they're getting older -- so much of trying to defy age going on in this world just, it drives me nuts... be glad you got to get 'older', it's better than the alternative! Beautiful that love is your dream that was realised. Who cares about all the other nonsense when all is said and done.

This is so sweet. I love rhyming poems, I find they flow so easily and are a lot less vague. I really enjoyed this. Keep it up.

Comment from dragonpoet
This flowing quatrain poem tells of what you learn in life as dreams change or don't come true. That faith and inner peace are more important than any material item.
That love in our lives is more important than money.

Comment from Michaelk
Contentment is a powerful thing. It allows you to be and do what you want without reservation.
This poem was beautifully written, straightforward yet simply elegant. It all boils down to, 'I know who I am and why I'm here, why would I do anything else?'
An excellent moral.
An excellent poem.
