Hmm, this is very well written, plus I think the chosen theme will appeal to many of FanStory's voters. You did a great of painting a scene of peace and contentment. There is nothing like living a satisfying life.

Good luck in the contest.

Excellent

This is a charming poem. You've made it possible for the reader to watch and listen to. In addition to introducing us to a fine old gentleman, you had good rhyme and meter.

You create such a peaceful feeling as you describe the grandpa and his evening ritual. Such wise words about being content. Content people are those who are blessed, because they recognize they have what they need.
Excellent rhymes. You should do well in the contest.
