A Gleam In Your Eye

Look out my window and what do I see The big ole sun shining back at me A day to celebrate this great world of ours To sing hallelujah and thank our stars Grumbling will surely get you nowhere Spread the good word for all to share Jump up for joy, it feels so damn good Why not invite the whole neighbourhood Your spirits will soar straight up to the clouds A joyous feeling you'll shout it out loud Take this advice I'm sending you guys Start each day with a gleam in your eye © Jack Ellison 2012

It is a lovely way to start the day, Jack. Here's the evening progressed and the day turned into night. The moon comes out and says goodnight to his friends. :) Have a nice weekend. - oxox / / Anne-Lise :)

A wonderful morning to read such a poem. I wish I could be as prolific as you... I put a few Troll poems out too soon and see I'll have to do some work to improve them.... I get so excited about wanting someone to read them that I throw them up a little early... Bad Girl... Bad Girl... I just posted a new one... I'll be having a new McRaccoon out eventually.
