Tears of Joy

You're never out of my thoughts, sweet lady Never very far away On my mind the last thing each night Each morn to start my day What is it called when this thing happens Is there some very special name Or is it just called plain old love Basically the name stays the same Been happening for thousands years or more The need for the love of another To assure us guys are not all alone We count on our sisters and brothers What a sad world this place would be Without love to see us through Totally adrift on an ocean of nothingness So fortunate to still have you So I'll close with this my dear sweet lady Not a moment ever goes by When you're image is not alive in my thoughts Tears of joy well up in my eyes © Jack Ellison 2014

Poetry is your Lady... She claims you heart and soul... And Cathie is your faithful muse... Without her there'd be no poetry, at all. We gather around our partners that keep the poetry flame alive... And know that our Blessings are very big... Where they could have been very small... Dragon liked that... He thinks he's my muse.... R.I.G.H.T! I think he is my punishment... for not being very good at all... Heh! Hee!. Whoops... Gotta run... Dragon has a flame coming on!...
