My Love of Life's Getting Stronger

The days are getting shorter and shorter But my love of life's getting stronger Autumn reminds me we're all much closer With the winter of our lives to ponder Recalling a lifetime filled with passion Our memories are ingrained in our soul The happy, the sad, the joy, the pain These things that have made us all whole Reflecting on my life, I can honestly say There are very few things I would change A lifetime filled with love and happiness Pushed regrets to the back of my brain How come I'm one of the lucky souls Whose life's been blessed with such love Will no longer question it, accept my fate It outshines all else above © Jack Ellison 2013

Ahhh. Dragon's and Troll's share a great love of life... That's why I wrote the Trolls a Pub hopping song... I don't drink... They on the other hand can drink and don't get drunk... They're always doing crazy stuff like getting the witch to give them butterfly wings... I know... a bit off the wall... Especially since they were too heavy to get off the ground... But that's Trolls for you... An unique prospective... And lots of crazy memories...

Yes. Never question why life is on your side. Embrace it. Live it. Value it from its roots, just like you did here. You are a symbol of man, Jack.
