Ms. Patricia Fleming, I have read many writings, and I mean many. I do love me a good read, and your poem touched me deep inside. It was as if I was speaking those words right out of my mouth. Your words are so genuine and perfect - thank you for being you - I really do appreciate you. You, my dear, most definitely have made the world a better place.

This poem is truly meaningful and profound. I admire her desire to write this poem to educate people of what's really important in life, and why. I have known others who also believed buying material things would make them happy. It never did. Unfortunately, people do not learn this lesson until they are older. Poems such as this one can inspire people to evaluate their own lives.

My name is Kadiri Jalila. I was born to an African family on 25th November 2009. As a young girl, I loved writing novels and poems. At the age of six, I wrote a book titled The Dream of Every Child. I showed the book to my parents and asked them to publish it. But my dad said publishing cost huge sums of money. That didn't stop me from writing. I kept on writing till now. At the age of 12, I still write books and get good comments on them.

Life is a play, a tragicomedy, it all begins with laughter and ends like a flash with tears. We are all dramatic world actors acting without a script. What a complex, confused, mischievous and unappreciable world!!

'The True Meaning of Life' along with all other meaningful and heart moving poems written by the poet, Pat A. Fleming is beyond any words of appreciation. I cannot explain with my limited vocabulary how touched I am and how relaxed I feel after reading her poems. I wish I came across these earlier in life but it's never too late. Real issues, emotional content, deeper thoughts, less talked about matters of life which we seem to have taken for granted are beautifully articulated by the poet in all her well worded poems on and about life. I also would like to know from her if it's okay to mention her name and read aloud her poems in the form of a podcast to be able to spread her wisdom to many people who need to read such intellectually drafted content.
Keep inspiring and spreading the joy with your exemplar writing pieces.

People I loved,
Have come and have gone,
But the world never stopped
And we all carried on...

This stanza is felt way deep in my heart because I'm the one that failed to move on from the one that carried on. She didn't even know I was there, the saddest part. My emotions are still with her, and it's hard to feel that way for another person. Her world never stopped. I wrote a poem about her.

Your poem is related on my current situation. I've been asking what's the meaning of life and how can I find a peace and happiness? The words of your poem are very nice. I hope I can make at least one beautiful poem like you did. Thank you for making this beautiful poem. God bless you!!

Ms. Pat Fleming,
Thank You for a beautiful poem. I have gone through what your poem says. Right now I am going through some changes again. I was diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis and would like to use your poem at my memorial in the near future.
Sincerely,

Great poem. It was very moving. If you were given a rerun and had your youth regained, what do you think you'd do differently? Anything from your life choices or more. What would you chase? Would you be more focused and serious? If not, would you try to enjoy most of your time instead of being driven by the world's standards but your own?

I loved the poem. As I read it, I felt it narrating my story. It presents a "true" meaning of life. It isn't just the heading, but the content truly describes life for the years I have lived. I can advise whoever is reading this poem to expect all that is spoken out in the poem.

I really love this poem. Even though I'm only 13, it totally changed how I think about life and how I shouldn't care so much about what I look like or own or what people think of me. Thank you for writing this. I hope there's many more to come!

This was one of the most heart-touching poems, and I keenly felt its words, and its meaning was clear out. Loved it and smiled at last.

This is a nice poem, and I loved reading and understanding it. This give a true meaning that what we have doesn't matter; what matters is who we are. And one more point I would like to make is that we should live it fully and do good for the mankind whether it is short work or great work.

This is a beautiful poem with an important message: You are not what you own, You are what you do with your short time on this earth.

Hi, I am twelve-years-old, and I love writing poems. Your poem gave me some lessons and tips to write. You showed me that there has to be a meaningful moral or theme. Thank you so much for the help.

I'm eleven, and I've been writing a song for music class. I've written many songs, but none are very meaningful. You poetry has given me an idea.

My wife died in 2005 of cancer. With no friends and only sympathetic neighbours around me, I used poetry writing to help express my feelings.

So touching to suddenly excite warm tears out of my eyes for the very truth meticulously expressed by dear Patricia A. Fleming in her poem!

This poem touched me very much. The subject matter of the poem seems to be true and natural. The poet has tried to put up an idea of the creator in a nice way, thus deserving appreciation. Wishing blessings from the Lord for the poet.

I couldn't have said it any better than Patricia Fleming. This is exactly how I feel. I've gone that route where I would buy things in the hope that I would feel better, however, it never really did help. I think we all have to look deep down inside ourselves and determine for ourselves what really matters. I, like Patricia, have cried many tears. I also came to the realization of what really mattered to me in my life. It took a lot of courage for me to make really big changes in my life at age 64. Patricia is right, what is really important is my opinion of me. It really doesn't matter what others think. Loving others and in turn being loved is important. Thank you so much, Patricia, for writing those words.

This poem, The True Meaning of Life, is so true! It is beautifully written. The author surely has wisdom and experienced much in life to be able to pen her experiences into words that most any person can relate to. What a wonderful poem!
