last line of next to last stanza is a stumble for me in the stress. I would hear it
as "from the first day I breathed." I like the words "mum" and "bloke" as these
remind me of something personal and so inspirational. It is a lovely picture for this
and I only wish I had a 6 for you today.

Fantastic write, I get so much information about you, all in rhyme...terrific job here. You are descriptive in telling us about yourself. I'm glad you express how you are grateful for all you have. Age only adds to our value and worth...I can relate to you in several ways...good luck in the contest!

Comment from Sis Cat
Of the three bio poems I have read in this contest so far, yours is the best because it is truly a bio poem. You describe not only your appearance but your interests. I know everyone has had different life experiences, but you do not dwell on a single trauma or a series of them. Your message is upbeat and you look back upon a well0lived life with no regrets:
"So when all's said and done
I've naught to complain
And yes if you ask me
I'd do it all just the same."
So well said. I also love your use of a mirror to describe the way you are now and the way you were then.
Thank you for sharing your life's story. I wish you success in the contest.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written biographical poem. Our kuves going pass far too quickly. The young girl in the mirror becomes the old woman overnight, but seldom we will have regrets for who we are today.

Comment from Bill Schott
This biographical poem, Good Fortune, is very positive and shows us the happy side of growing older gracefully. Happiness and health are keys to all the rest. Fun bio for the contest.

Comment from Kassa-Leigh
This is a great poem, and I enjoyed reading about you. What a wonderful way to learn about your life. I might try to do the same thing and write a poem about myself. Thanks for sharing it! And don't worry, we are all becoming "old girls." Lol.
