Enjoyable poem and what I like best is, while it started with a familiar "where is the girl" and "now there's an older woman in my mirror" theme--it went beyond to let go of the things of youth and embrace the gifts that come with age. positive, upbeat, refreshing.

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
Hi - You have made a very good job of 14 stanzas about yourself and covered a lot of ground. Your meter is steady throughout and you maintained good rhyme in abcb form. I like this picture - a nice drawing. Good luck in the contest. Warm regards Dorothy ............... I get the impression you may be English - you say 'mum' - Americans say 'mom' LOL. But I could be wrong. LOL.

Comment from Meia (MESAYERS)
Life is a trail with emotions in the way. In the poem you use a variety of emotions to persuade the reader to feel the pain that most of us experience in life . This poem is modern, yet classic and yet takes ones breath away with powerful lines, and excellent vocabulary. Humour, fear, joy and warmth all melded into this excellent piece.Well done kindest regards, Meia x

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Beautiful poem, it's what's on the inside that counts. Unfortunately we cannot stop the years wearing out our faces. I recently saw Rachel Welch being interviewed and she still looked in her twenties! I kept trying to match her words to her real age of 76! I found it hard to relate to her, because she looked so young and yet her words befitted a younger person. So really you are a young person on the inside and appreciated by your family for who you are. Loved the sentiments of your poem, love Dolly x

Nursing is a career for those who have a strong heart and can put others first. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read.
