No Greater Feeling

In this day and age, it's a rare occurrence To have feelings so deep that it hurts People are absorbed in their own little world Showing love, they often avert There's no greater feeling in this old world Than the love of another human being Be they man or woman makes no difference They're feelings that makes our heart sing You can actually go through an entire lifetime And never know this feeling divine The triumph of joy of true happiness It can only be described as sublime It can lift your spirits on the darkest of days It helps you get through life's storms A beacon of light through overcast skies Nothing else creates such a warmth So show your loved ones every single day They make it all worthwhile This life with all of its ups and downs We're all only here for a while © Jack Ellison 2013

I'm going to show that dragon a little love... if he doesn't stop kicking me off the couch... I'm going to be the one getting the barbecue sauce... and then I'll call the Trolls to dinner... Snicker... The look on his face would be priceless... That'd be fun till Grandpa Troll got there... After I stopped rolling on the floor laughing he'd probably give me another time out on the lake... to soak up the sun so to speak... LOL... But it'd be worth it...
