Let's Hear It For Life

The wisdom we possess today Is attained by just living and observing life In most cases it doesn't require any special talent It just requires a sponge-like brain With a willingness to open up to new horizons A willingness to accept there is always more to learn Until that final inevitable day The joys of exploring new avenues is overwhelming It can make our golden years A time of discovery, of utter joy and excitement Never experienced before in a whole lifetime We never stop learning We never stop discovering the complexities of life But through it all, love is foremost The ultimate passion, the reason for being The wisdom we possess today Is attained by just living and observing life Let's hear it for life!!! © Jack Ellison 2014

I died once and suddenly knew everything! Like a veil being lifted! Made me wonder why I'd worked so hard to learn. Then I was told I had to go back, Guess what?They wouldn't let me keep what I'd learned! DARN! The incentive was back to learn again... A LOT! Honestly! That was rude!... LOL... Well maybe not, cause I would've tried to solve the worlds problems and been flustrated... So in time, I was given a persnickety Dragon to raise! Honestly! God! I said I was sorry! Really! I'll be good!
