    Thanks Janie, I'm glad you liked my poem. It seems that I need to stop paying attention to them.:o) I haven't won one in quite a while. But when I do it helps with more play money so I can keep promoting. :o) Thus, I enter the contests.

I'm caught up in the theme of the poem and like it very much. The last line, being a very important one bothered me a little with "It" I think the poem gains power when 'it' is named. Just a suggestion. I'm only one reviewer. You already mention 'Spring time' which is also 'May time' then you could use 'Spring' in the last line. Again, just an observation. Very nice poem and good photo.

How true! This a lovely poem, but can 't Grasp the 22 word connection. But I certainly can grasp the meaning and significance of it. Nice job! Val

    The title was just lack of a better one. LOL. I had intended to enter the poem in a contest with a word count requirement but found out I wasn't eligible due to it was only open to writers that had "never" won a contest. I have won before ...so could not enter. So...I just posted it but couldn't think of a title. LOL. Glad you liked the poem. :o)

    Thank you Michael for your kind review. I am glad you liked it. It does seem that time just flys. I was so young yesterday. :o) I know I'm going to "live forever" in a new body...some days more than others... I long for that day to be today.

That is an understatement! Wait for the snowfall and the blizzards! Youth is so fleeting and is over rated too! Great read Jo!

    Thank you Betty for your kind review of my poem. Yes, you are right..."youth is fleeting" and I do believe "wasted" on the young. LOL

Perhaps in body this is so, but in spirit, you're only as old as you feel. It's when the battle inhabits your mind that you have lost the war.

    So true. My husband likes to say "my mind says I can but my body says I can't anymore". I am very fortunate to be from a family that most of the members get pretty old in body but all of their minds are sharp as tacks. It is a blessing. Thank you for reviewing my poem.

    My mom is eight four, and my dad is eighty four and mom's as fiesty as evver, but of late mom worries, because dad is getting slow, and his mind doesn't work so well,
    but she hopes that he die
    before her.
    They have one of thse special bonds
    One without the other just won't work.
    But dad still tries.

Good advice to the youngsters here. I'm too old to remember when I had 'youth and energy galore'. It's a good job we don't fall asleep at 18 and wake up at 60. Now, thet would be a shock!

Best wishes, earl

    Oh, no I would hate to have fallen asleep at 18 and awakened at 60. However, some days it does seem like that is exactly what happened. It all passed way too fast. Thank you for reviewing my poem. I'm glad you liked it.
