Yes, we all would love to spend just a little more time on this earth. Despite the ups and downs, tears and frowns, we want to continue on this journey for as long as there's another sunrise...

You have done well with what I know of your life shared on FS. Your poem reads well with good rhymes, smooth flow, and great imagery. You give great advise, too.
Respectfully, Jan

Jay,
This sounds like a good mind set in which to live your life. It is true that we always want more time if we are healthy.
I think knowing should be knew because all other verbs a past tense and then soon can be sooner and be more grammatically correct and still be the correct syllable count.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Joan

It's amazing how fast the wheels of time turn, and how with every rotation we lose a little more of our physical selves. We contemplate why we are here and how we can be a teenager one day and an elderly person the next. In God's time it all can't amount to a single breath. And soon we will understand.

I couldn't agree with you more sit.
I just lost my job but finished my job so it's every rose has its thorn..
I could relate to what you spoke in rhyme

My walk will begin and I will wish to be stalwart like you. Dying isn't the hard part - it is leaving and never seeing lilacs or creeks or the smile of babies. I believe I am going to a different place and hope I will find you there. Excellent poetry - finest presentation.

I know I do. My children need me although I need them more. LOL Life is previous and no one in their right mind gives it up willingly. This is a well written poem on love of life. Good day to you, Bill. Nancy:)

I know Sonnets are not the only poems that end with couplets, but I love couplets for how they sum up the true meaning of the poem. I like the one below.
In closing I ask the powers that be-
Walk along this long, lonely road with me.
