What a lovely and thoughtful poem, and it rhymes which I liked a lot, Like you although I confess not quite as old, I have led a good fun life and done a lot of small things that I have enjoyed. I am now getting a bit slower in my movements due to arthritis in my knees and shoulders, but still enjoying the simple things in life and long may I continue to do so. Take care and God Bless. Kooky.

You are doing something right. You have lived a long life and is healthy and self-reliance. May I suggest that you can do Yoga to straighten your back. Not sure about the eyesight. You are still writing sonnets.
Well done.

I agree -- you've done an excellent job with the years God has given you. I love every part of the poem, but the visual of 'another inning' was perfect.
And, rest assured, God is walking those long, lonely roads with you, my writing friend.
Blessings,
Deb

Very encouraging. It tells the reader that though time on Earth is limited it is important somewhat because it is limited. Live each day as if it was your last.

Hello Jaybird1,
Nice piece of poetry in the form of 'Sonnet' meeting the desired norms, having impressive phraseology, smooth flow throughout from the beginning to the end with lovely rhyming scheme, and beautifully depicting the poet's lamentation as well as WISH.

It is a sign of a life well lived, that you are ready and willing to gather as many future days as possible! I know so many half your age that do nto have the stamina, nor the exuberance to hope to keep their wheels spinning! Perhaps God is listening? I'm sure of it.

From what I'm led to believe, you're well into your nineties, you are a fine example of a man who has seen it all, plus some, and hopefully will see a lot more. You're a fine writer with lots of experience, and you exercise it with skill and alacrity. Well done, blessings Roy

Another masterful traditional verse on life, death, and our purpose in this world. I like the feeling, the power, and the simple yet majestic images and feeling of this poem.
