A Happy Outgoing Guy

Never was good at showing emotion Before meeting my sweetie pie She helped me outta this funk I was in Now a happy outgoing guy! Enjoying life to the absolute fullest Excitement fills my every day The richest man on the face of the earth There's nothing more I can say Really been blessed throughout my life Why am I the fortunate one Others suffer through sadness and pain While mine's just laughter and fun Maybe it's the genes bequeathed to us The luck of the draw that decides Will we be wearing a perpetual smile Or will sadness fill up our eyes Whatever the answer, I thank my stars Couldn't have asked for anything more Blessed is a word that is so often used In my case, it's true to the core © Jack Ellison 2012

Enjoy my daily drink of Jack. Now I can head out to start my day with a smile. When my friends ask what I've been drinking I'll tell them I have a bottle of Jack.

For the most part yes, I just wrote a poem reflecting that thought after reading your poem this morning.
