Damommy,
What a lovely poem with emotions and feelings? We all have to walk the path God gives us or,the plan we set for ourselves. I love your title, "Life." It allows the interpreter to interpret what they feel. I felt, that you stated, "nothing stays the same." As you stated, no matter what we do or don't do the world keep spinning. So true. Also, your poem states that what we do in life affects others. Again, so true. I love this poem. You made it clear that the people we love with be the success of our life. Nicely written with passion and truth. Thanks for sharing. Nicely written. Good job Damommy. Keep writing, You put a lot of feeling in your poems. Thank you. Happy writing.

Hello damommy,
This is a lovely free verse poem :) Free verse is a poetry form that refuses to work for me. However, you seem to have a gift for it. I love the picture you chose. I enjoy the shape your words take on the page when centered. Your message is tender and heartfelt. Well done. Best wishes in the contest.

Comment from Mastery
Excellent free verse poetry, Yvonne. There are so many truths enclosed in your lines, like:
"We never know
where life will take us,
when it will leave us,
or what impact we may have"
And that is the sweet mystery of life, isn't it?
Bless you. Bob

Yes, it is. I wouldn't want to know what the future brings. I'm content to wait and find out. Thank you for reviewing.
Comment from Ulla
Hi Yvonne, this is such a beautiful free verse poem that says so very much. I loved it. A very strong contestant indeed. Yeah, we walk through life, and we never know where that path will take us in the end. We can only try to make the most of it as long as it lasts. I loved your poem. It resonates with me. Ulla:)))

Nothing stays the same, yet it does.
Success is not what we own,
but that people love us.
Some favorite lines. Beautiful poem, filled with insights. Very well done! :)

Thank you. I'm so glad you like it. In the important ways, I'm very wealthy.
Comment from Thomas Bowling
I'm wondering if the untimely death of Michael Cahill has you pondering life. This touches the heart.
I love the last line: Success is not what we own, but that people love us.
It makes me re-evaluate my belief that whoever dies with the most toys wins.

Then I would lose. I have a home, car, and all that, but I'm far from wealthy. In the important ways, I'm am the richest woman on earth. 8-)

Thanks for posting this and entering the Free Verse contest. You just made it really hard for me to win. LOL Darn you. Life's journey is always so individual yet they all follow the same pattern. You portrayed this very well with your poem. Good Luck.

Well thought of and expressed-- the path of life that cannot be predicted. Your list two lines pen the essence of life and I love this ending.
