This naani, The View From Here, has the allowable configuration with twenty-five syllables and a message of time gone by and much left to do.

Comment from Mark D. R.
Yvette,
I only wonder if 40 was just an alliteration for the four line naani entry. LOL
As we do get older, our childhood becomes a bit fainter. And yes we often know more now as 'adult- children.'
Thanks for these possibilities.

Not sure what you mean by the alliteration comment... Thanx for the review, Mark -- much appreciated. :)
Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hello mystery writer. I like the concept of the poem. To me it reads as though someone is approaching the end of life as they look back they understand there is more to learn. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Jeffrey L. Michaux
I love the message of this. It does seem like just a memory where I'm sitting. Even though as you've stated so eloquently that we're standing on the precipice and death isn't so far away, there is indeed so much more to know. I like this and really enjoyed reading this well written work. Well done!

Comment from Mia Twysted
Time moves so fast. When you look back you can't believe how much has happened. And yes, there is always still so much more to learn.
This fits in well with the examples for the contest. Very well done.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written Naani about how fast we grow up and think we know about everything halfway through our life just to discover there are much more we do not know.

Comment from Gail Denham
We;'ll never learn it all, een if we live a million years. I can imagine the questions that we'll ask God. "Why was..?" "Was this reallly"? We have that to look forward to.

Hello Writer,
The beautiful art work and presentation match the equally fine poem.
The naani is very well done with the addition of the rhyme
and the introspective thoughts.The next great stage is just begun.
Well done
Best wishes in the contest
