What a Dreamer

I'm just happy to be alive The alternative is not very appealing I'd surely miss all my Soup friends Look forward to firing up my old computer each morning And heading straight for Poetry Soup It's my happiest time of the day If I don't get my daily dose of smiles I go around moody all day No smiles, no jokes, no fun HA! JUST JOKING... that'll be the day Believe it or not, I still have the occasional quiet day When my mood is a little more sombre or laid back But those days are extremely rare So if I may offer some advice of what works for me If you think I'm on the right track Pass it along... the world will be a much happier place What a dreamer! © Jack Ellison 2014

Being a dreamer must be nice... Dragon, Grandpa roll, Hubby, and I can't imagine what it must be like! LOL... Now that's kinda like the pot calling the kettle black... Good morning to my most funnest morning person ever... Wish Dragon and I could keep up with you in fun and volume... But not to worry... We'll keep trying!

Hi Jack!Excellent pen Jack! I really enjoyed your piece my dearest friend! So happy for you indeed that you feel this way. May the Lord give you at least another 40 years more here in this planet. The soup wont be the same without you in it. I guess we are both dreamers and that's one of my biggest problems I am perhaps too much of a dreamer and a romantic for my own good .A 7 from me! I wish you a very Happy New Year! I pray that 2015 brings just the best to you! Have a very lovely day! :) Love and hugs! xxx D."
