I Thought So

If you had just one last wish Before crossing that final thresh hold Tell me what would it be? Would you spend your final hours On a beach enjoying the Florida sunshine? Perhaps wrapped the arms of A beautiful shapely model? Or maybe enjoying an expensive meal Fit for a king with barrels of champagne And all the food you've ever wished for But could never afford OR would you just simply like be surrounded By friends and loved ones To say goodbye and tell them how much They have always meant to you I though so! © Jack Ellison 2014

Jack, that is a thought provoking question. Family and friends, of course. But among them, if I could win one more soul for Jesus before I went home, that would be heaven to me. Blessings, Darlene

Took the words right out of my mouth. I'd want to see my loved ones one last time, and see Dragon to a home where he can continue on, with his penguins, and the Trolls, and that cute cuddeling cricket, of course! Hmmm. I might need an aprentice. Well, guess I'll keep going for a while till I find one... I need to take care of so many and see to Hubby, too. As they say... No rest for the wicked! And you know me... But eventually they'll have to make it on their own... So I can rest my eyes.
