I enjoyed this poem. What a blessing to be with family who loves you. I appreciate your mentioning what a joy it is to be in this country that has provided so much freedom. You sound like a grateful man. When you have the right attitude, you see blessings all around. Well done.

If I am able to write as well as you in another sixteen years time, I will be more than happy. You are also lucky to be well looked-after by the sound of it. Keep going, J. You're doing great.

Sometimes ,I forget to thank the people who make my life so happy in so many ways.
Sometimes,I forget to tell them how much I really do appreciate them for being an important part of my life.I am so grateful to all of them.
Life is too short tomorrow might be too late too late to tell them how blessed you are to have them.
Thank you so much for inspiring me .

The reader can sense that you have found your place and are certainly happy and at peace with that place. one can not ask for more as the days of our lives begin to fade away. Well done! Smiles, Carol

Your great attitude is star-worthy in itself. I am heartened to read of your contentment and appreciation of all the wonderful things in life that so many others take for granted.

This is amazing and awesome! I can't believe you're writing poetry at 96 years old, but in my mind age does not play a factor in poetry (although I suppose as you get older you have broader experiences and when you are younger you are perhaps more innocent). This poem was really nice to read, and I loved the style you use.

To feel love and be living in it continuously is truly a blessing. I think that in general it's a basic to life. However these modern days has many disbelievers in the gift of union(s). You created really nice visual imagery. Wonderful work :)

Such a great sentiment here, Jay. We truly are lucky to be living where we are, when so many are not so lucky.
Gratitude is a must to truly appreciate the gifts that we have.
I always enjoy reading your poetry, so please keep on writing. :)

Being thankful for everyday alive is the best behavior. Being free is our right. I like what the poem says: "Here I can worship whom I choose, keep all that's good, the others lose."
I also like: "When all these things are said and done,
life's still much joy..."
What a wonderful life.
Thanks you for sharing.
Be happy and healthy.
