Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

A Happy Outpouring of Love

I look outside and what do I see?
The sun shining brightly above
Puffy white clouds softly drifting by
In a happy outpouring of love

The world is such a wonderful place
Depending on your outlook I say
The choice is yours to be happy or sad
So throw all those troubles away

Cast aside all your negative thoughts
Wake up each day with a grin
It's great to just be alive and kicking
To waste it would be such a sin

None of us will be around forever
Do the best with what you've been dealt
All you can do is go along with the flow
Your happiness will surely be felt

I look outside and what do I see?
A bright shiny world out there
Share the happiness within your soul
Tell folks how much you care!

One day it will be our turn to leave. Thanks for sharing. Lucilla Jack Ellison February 10, 2013 at 5:10 AM "One day it will be our turn to leave"... a chilling thought but oh so true!
