We all experience the foibles of youth and have our regrets, but aspirations for a good education, leading a moral life, being happily married overtake our weaknesses. I am glad you are content, at this age it is a necessity for our health and peace of mind. Excellent message and rhyming. I have aspired, achieved, now I am content to be a simple poet bringing joy to others. Faye

Age becomes me, so does the light
My eyes grow dim not so my sight
The path ahead draws near my goal
My life's content as is my soul.

Hi Roy, i felt this beautiful poem was written to me, wow, so much doctrine from your side, the honesty is amazing, even with the sadness in your poem, you created such a down to earth reality, that many human beings who will read your poem, will definitely feel relieved afterwards.
I was away for 8 months, some health problems, but trying to come back. Beautiful pen. Bless you from Montreal. Terry xoox

Roy;
-I really enjoyed reading your biographical profile or that's what I seem to think it is.
Of your spirited and personal emotions were well depicted and composed within this writing. You title being Age Becomes Me should be like; age promotes my love for life. The feelings that you amassed in this writing was excellently displayed in and imagery that was very perfectly expressed in a very personal way.
-Each of your rhyming words were contingent to the meaning and concept of each line in each of your rhyming couplets that were neither forced nor labored it helped with your rhythmic flow.
-Your rhythmic meter being iambic tetrameter and the cadence, timing and tempo were all helpful in making the reading clear, fluid and very easy.
-If I were to put a picture on or with this palm I would use a flaming Holy Ghost or a dove that has a spirited flame attached to it.
-Thank you for sharing and posting and may the good Lord be with you always Roy.
Alex

Hmm. I like this poem, Roy. Age does become you and in the world of poets, I would say you have success. Your poems, that I have read, are always good. Success doesn't always mean being published, you know. Good job. Miss Sally

A beautifully worded poem. Aging with grace is what I would call this.
I especially liked your last lines. Your definition of success is so true.
To gain the whole world and lose your soul would be complete disaster.

Roy,
So many of these lines speak to me. As I progress from 65 to 70, I'm continuously amazed by how content I am with this aging process. I feel the things you describe so clearly. Thanks for sharing. elaine

A very beautiful poem Roy. The words and rhyme and rhythm just jump out of the page as you summarize your longings for success finding the best part in your love for others.

Excellent poem about a soul and fire within that are undimmed and unquenched by age. I first noticed your rhyming couplets in each stanza their flow, and their rhythm. Second, I observed how you discuss your theme through choices words, descriptions, and metaphors. Yes, "It's only love that makes one whole." Thank you for sharing your exceptional poem.

A poem of reflection on a life that has gone through all the trials and tribulations and has come out the other side. Very thoughtful.
