Rules For Living

Respect for nature Respect for authority Respect for fellow man The rules of majority Honesty is contentment Honesty in everything Honesty of the heart Alive as the spring Joyful in common things Joyful of mind Joyful just being Gentle and kind Happy within your soul Happy with friends Happy to be living At peace to the end Creeds I adhere to Creed for giving Creed for success Great rules for living © Jack Ellison 2014

Wisdom comes with years of experience; it's a pity that many young ones take long to realize where true happiness lies. These rules to life are an eye-opener, my friend. // paul

I liked this a lot Jack! Very wholesome and nice principles and thoughts to live by. Lots of wisdom! ;) very inspirational poem, can be helpful to anyone who reads it and apply it as their own. God's teachings and some positive thinking can also help a lot. Another 7 from me my dear friend! Many hugs! Love and light! xxx D.

That's me. Respectful, honest, joyful, happy, and at peace. Wth the firm belief raging on the religious fanatic, to see Dragon grow up right... you see! Just a little tick (in my eyes) seems to be bothering me, and no matter what you hear... I'm telling you that I'm as sane as sane can be! I assure you I'm perfectly all right, cause Grandpa Troll heartily agrees with me! Besides success is in the eye of the beholder... except for with that fussy old Elven King... whose complaining that he's having trouble... finding a single tree.

There's more of us than them... yet they have the control! Will it ever be any different... doubt it. It's always been those religious fanatics that are the conflicts! Hang in there... stay cool, loving hugs! XXX
