Jon,
Warm, contemplative and deep and while the theme is emotionally demanding for both writer and reader the poem doen't degenerate into sentimentality but is propped by a fighting spirit and a strong sense of realism, and a sense of the wonder and gift of being alive. Excellent work.

I am moved by these contemplative thoughts, Jon,
and know that time will never exact its relentless toll
on the mind (and heart)of the poet who wrote these lines.
