Magic Or Tragic

How would we define the difference between magic and tragic Your first kiss under a big bright yellow moon is definitely “magic” Or maybe in later years when you pull out a ring And ask her to marry you and she says, “Yes oh yes, my darling Fred” When your actual name is Anthony!!! WOW! That's not what I would call “magic”... that's more like “tragic!” It's “magic” when your first wee one comes along But has a strong resemblance to your friend Howard You question your dear wifey poo about it And she confesses to an affair with not only Howard but with six others That's tragic... oh yeah Then you tell her you forgive her, it's all in the past That's magic! Life is filled with “magic” and “tragic” events When “magic” wins you'll have a warm loving relationship! © Jack Ellison 2014

Hello Jack dear friend! Excellent piece you've woven here as usual. Very nice pen! Ah forgiveness is very important in all matters of the heart. When we don't forgive someone we get stuck in the past also and that eat us alive like a cancerous wound a cancer that may destroy in the end something very beautiful in our lives that we might have experience and made us very happy. So much wit and wisdom here. Sound advice! A 7 for you! Have a very nice day! :) Love and hugs! xxx D.

With Dragon Magic and Tragic tend to go together... It's magic to see the live nativity scene for the first time... and tragic when Dragon accidently sets the hay on fire... That was last year... We'll do better this year. Now It's not real straw... It's fire retardant material painted to look like straw! Aren't we clever! PS. You inspired my new poem 'Dragon Santa'. Now that's magic! How do you do that?
