Very moving; those last five lines are really something! What is sweeter than to embrace the bitter sweetness of it all? There lies such victory as can be.

Hi Peter,

we spend youth hoping for a better tomorrow and, when tomorrows start to run out, we start hoping for a better yesterday.

Thanks Peter - instead of wasting my time writing one of my own, I have wisely spent the time reading yours: there's nothing like a good lunch with an old friend - especially when he's paying (your currency is accepted everywhere).

Mark (another aging dog who's just read a favourite tree - there must be a joke in there about barks).

I agree with Emma totally. Always a pleasure to read your writing. Always inspiring. This is very applicable in lieu of my impending move.
Thank you Peter.
Bravo!

You've expressed better than I can my own thoughts. I'm not so sure though about "the clarity of youth" . . . certainly things seemed clearer then, simpler, more black and white, but for me it seems now that it was mostly because I was so self-centered. With age comes some measure of wisdom, learned more from mistakes than successes, and a realization that the world doesn't revolve around us.

One of the pleasures about belonging on this site is to read one of your poems, I can't express how much admiration I have for your writing and I thank you for that.
