A few compensations...maybe.
Seeing grown children, feeling a bit more freedom, engaging in adult activities without small children...the wisdom and experience of years behind me...

Comment from Jane Johnson
This poem made perfect sense to me; however, I admit I have truly tried to not respond to it, as I have a sad situation with my son and I hope the day comes when he is peaceful and savors each flavor of life. Your words flowed well and the artwork you chose was perfect for this writing. Thank you for sharing.

that's so sad, Jane - I know parents & kids who aren't on speaking terms (in fact, I couldn't speak to my own mother for 2 years) - but hopefully the day will come for you my dear.
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
That is very good! A well written piece, talking to yourself. I like the honesty in the way you write about YOU,
we all grow old, like it or not, I like it in some ways but not is others. And you're right, we find a lot more pleasure in the simple things of life. I enjoyed reading your poem, good luck in the contest. xsx Sandra

Comment from Jewell McChesney
you
are
coming to be
at One, peacefully
not a bad place to be
you'll agree
feasting on life now
savoring
each flavor
in small
dreamy
exquisitely creamy
bites
of
delight
Um...this poem had me very confused and felt like it went all over the place in subjects. I will come back to it later I guess.
The picture was a tad alarming since that woman was twice his age and hunkered into his shoulder as if in love. lol Most likely his Momma. ;) So that part of your poem I did get.
Sorry this isn't a typical review for me and most likely not like the others you received on this one.
I'd rather be honest though.

well it's good that you're the only one so far who is confused my dear! :) I think you were reading too much into the picture - it's a mother & son dancing at the son's wedding!
-
haha...I figured that and actually HOPED SO! lol
I reread your poem and man, I don't know where the heck my mind was a minute ago, but I get it now. too funny. My apologies for my overloaded brain.
-
I changed the picture, just for you - didn't want anyone else to think I was rocking the cradle - what do you think Vis?
-
No no no...if you notice, I did say, "Probably his Momma"...It was just the first glance that had me wondering. ha ha..put it back.
Now you need to go ahead and write a cougar poem. heehee. :D

What a terrific piece and so very true. The years fly by and our hearts often stay in one place but in other ways we grow in understanding and are grateful for peaceful times. I wish you the very best in the contest. It is a beautiful free verse!

Hello,
Happy New Year!
First, I would like to thank you for presenting such a precious poem. The first poem I read in this year 2013. Old age isn't a bad one or an obstacle.
Age is not a bar of rock but it is a bar of cake. Keep writing for the love they need from their children.
Wonderful.

Self-talk is always a positive thing to do and you captured how it should be done in this beautifully written piece. There are memorable lines in this one, such as these:
"You are
coming to be
at One, peacefully
not a bad place to be
you'll agree ...

Comment from dancerwriter
At first I was not sure who was telling this, the grandmother, the mother or whom..AFter reading above the authors notes I now understand. Of course how often does one look into a mirror after age begins to creep up.( I myself avoid this)You are brave and I compliment you on your true assessment of yourself. Lesley.J.
