A very good message that is so on point. I celebrated my 60th about 8 years ago and I thanked God that he/ or she, let me live that long. Nice write.

I liked this poem and I'm giving it 3 stars. It is very good, both in subject and rhyme. The only suggestion I would make would be to look more closely at cadence, or beat. I would remove some unnecessary words such as "and" in the second line. And instead of "wherever" you walk "where" you walk would be an improvement. Sometimes too many syllables can interfere with the readers enjoyment. Overall, a very genuine perspective.

What a delightfully uplifting poem on the benefits of turning sixty, Mystery Poet, not to mention the long, winding road one sometimes chooses to arrive there.
Your rhyming couplets were all impeccably well composed--I detected not a single, solitary hiccup as I read this aloud.

This is outstanding, and I am so sorry to be out of sixes at the current time. If I had one to give, it would surely be yours.

Well done, and I really hope you do well in the contest.
All my best...
~Dean ( Loved this poem!)

This is a very good growth poem you have penned. I wont be 60 until July of next year. You used very good descriptive wording and very good imagery. I enjoyed reading and reviewing it. Teri

This is a wonderful poem that would cheer a person who has reached that magic age. It is well rhymed and structured. I like how you show 60 not as the end of a person's life, but as a new beginning. It is a milestone that prompts one to look back and forward. Thank you for sharing your growth poem. I wish you success in he contest.

I enjoyed your poem. You expressed your feelings well. The reader gets the idea that this person has lived a great life [and hopefully has many more years].

In this line, is the word to OR for missing before the word your?

with forgiveness, kindness, and generosity your companions

every day.

Good job and best wishes in the contest.

What a beautiful thought, and nicely written. 8-)

This poem flows well and your rhyming is very good.

I like the subject you came up with. Being considerably older than sixty, I could relate.
