Did You Ever Wish You Were Someone Else

Did you ever wish you were someone else Like a popular Hollywood star Or a rich and famous member of the jet set Maybe a singer with a massive repertoire Well wish away if that turns your crank None are necessarily more content Real true happiness comes from deep within And a sweet loving soul to augment Been around a long while but still not a expert Real love is a very fickle thing But when love is true, the feeling's so amazing To embrace it and feel that zing Certainly not a pro on the subject of love Just what I've learned through the years A few heartaches but mostly a truly happy life Happiness with a sprinkling of tears So to wrap this all up in a neat little package The answer is love without doubt Imagine how much better the world would be If conflicts we were finally without © Jack Ellison 2015

Another one to treasure!! "Real true happiness comes from deep within And a sweet loving soul to augment" Love those lines - so very true!! I'm not a pro either, but your wisdom from experience is inspiring! Love shall forever keep you going! Always, Laura

I find happiness in my little friends and, yes, the real ones too... But to be some one else? Never! It can be more fun when you are YOU!
