Comment from Jeanine Browne
I knew intuitively from the start (title) that I would fall in love with this poem. Well written, with powerful words and vivid imagery, touched my heart. I sense a man who has lived and loved his life, yet still has a longing to return to the days of innocence. I liked the poem so much that I read it three times!!

Wow! Three times! I am thankful that you read it once. Your review is kind and insightful. I am deeply thankful for this. Thank you
Comment from ESOSTINE
The poem flows smoothly springing up reflections over journey through life. A lot of things unfinished as man's wants remain unlimited. Thanks for sharing this excellent piece. I wish I still have a Six Star in my pocket. Well done, dear Todd.

A moment of contemplation in this unique poem as we reflect on our actions and realise the life is a patchwork quilt that is never quite finished. I enjoyed your reflective words, love Dolly x x x

This is very nicely written and it was a real pleasure to listen to. I am so glad you shared it with us. The photo is something else and it's very spectacular. Patricia.

Your words are smooth and bring forth emotions. Your poem fits the photo perfectly. "Together all the angels sighed and God opened His hands
up wide," are two lines that add a spiritual feel to your words. Excellent poetic form and use of words.

I like the repetitious tempo in the lines. Your poem touched my heart with its sentiment. It captured the highs and lows of life and how we are never perfect. It's really a beautiful poem. gayla

Thank you for this touching review. I think this is all we ever want as an artist, is to touch someone else emotionally. Thank you for these sentiments. They are much appreciated.

If we can only see things honestly and not through the lens of troubled feelings. What a wonderfully written poem. Good luck in the contest! Have a great day, and God bless.

Comment from Kahlani
That's so romantic, Todd. And the poem is wonderful, too. This piece's juxtaposition of "wishes upon wishes unwished" and many other stanzas is delightful. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this romantic poem.
