Hi Dr M C Gupta Author Icon,

This review is a part of "Game of ThronesOpen in new Window. [13+]. *Smile*

Overall Impression:

What a lovely poem, dear author. I like your positive attitude! And your sense of humour as well - it made me smile.

I hope that when I reach the age of 70, I will be as optimistic as you were when you wrote this poem. You are right. Wealth is not that important. Vigour, mirth, those are of far more importance, as is faith, and how you feel inside. I have noticed that as I age, my mind has still stayed young. Apart from on the days when I feel about twice my age, but I am sure that we all get those!

As said, your faith shines through clearly, and I think that that's lovely. I hope that one day my faith can be as strong as yours. It gave your poem a warm touch.

Your poem having been written five years ago, I hope that you approached your 75th birthday in the same way as you did your 70th. *Smile*

On the technical side of things, your poem reads well. I enjoyed the rhythm and flow, and your rhyming scheme. Well done!

Suggestions:

I have no suggestions, dear author. Not very helpful, I know, but I could spot no errors. Perhaps you could allow the capitalisation at the beginning of each line to depend on the individual sentences within the piece, to perfect the overall clarity. Otherwise, however, I have nothing that I think could be improved upon.

My Rating:

A lovely poem, that I was very happy to read, as you can tell!

I had no real suggestions, so I will give this item a rating of 5 out of 5.

Thank you for sharing your work, and write on!

Kit
