I found this perfectly done, with nothing that would require any correction.
The beautiful poem is well written, formatted and arranged. Which is one of the things that made me like it so much.
Thanks for posting it for us to enjoy.

That is a lovely poem, Janet, and I love purple iris's I have some in my garden. I Do love your poem, it takes us to places I'd wish to see and do as well. Can you imagine if it was easy to play among the stars how many of us would be doing that? Mmm, lovely thought. Well done, my friend. :) Sandra

Lovely, Just lovely, JM. A nice ease into simpleness, and I mean that positively. Sometimes, some things just have to be told in marvelous simplicity, as a new morning awakens, and this is such a time. Lovely descriptive stanzas that awaken senses as if right there enjoying the moment with you.
A lovely little write...something one could find in a beautiful card of love.
Bravo.
Have a beautiful day, Janet

This is a very touching poem. It speaks volumes about the love and feelings about a partner or lover one. While all the other dreams, wants, and desires may be present, it is comforting that the choice to be with someone is made willingly.

I enjoyed reading your poem. When in love, we do give up a great deal, but you gain as well. Even if you journey around the world, it means nothing unless you have that special person beside you. Your poem reflects this perfectly. Best of luck.

A very well-written poem about what is important in life. Not all the travels of the world can give you happiness in your heart. It is the simple things in our daily lives that make us happy, to be with the ones we love and the things we know.

Excellent rhyme and flow in this well done piece of traveling and seeing the world, but it comes back to being with the one you love over all

Beautiful poem. Because you have moved to be near your grandchildren, I am wondering if "they" are the love of this poem. You did an excellent job presenting this poem, and creating a mood. Really lovely in all aspects!

Thank you for sharing. Blessings, Analie

(I too am completely enjoying my precious grandchildren, and reinventing my life after retirement!)

    Thank you Analie for your thoughtful and encouraging review. The poem is really about my husband. We did move to be near grandchildren but they have a way of growing up. They are now 23, 19 and 17. The 23-yr-old is playing professional soccer in Australia, the 19-yr-old is in his sophomore year in college and the youngest is a junior in high school. They really don't need us like they did 12 years ago when we moved here to be near them. I guess that is a good thing. LOL

    I'm glad you are enjoying your grandchildren. The times with them are priceless.

    Blessing
