A Life Filled With Glad

I tend to harp on the happy life

That I've been so lucky to have had

One of the fortunate ones that's for sure

Since I was just a wee lad

Why me, at times I've wondered

But really don't want a reason

Content to accept my very good fortune

My love is one for all seasons

Must have performed a special good deed

To deserve such a life so glorious

Guess I could classify my role up till now

As purely phantasmagorias

As I sail on forth to my golden years

Giving thanks for a life of love

Feel more fortunate than one man deserves

As the love light shines from above

I tend to harp on my happy life

That I've been so lucky to have had

Won't question the reason I've been chosen

To live this life filled with glad

You did a good job here. I read it several times and it slowly came alive for me in the reading. The imagery created gave life to your words and your feelings come through strong. You paint a picture with words that bring your thoughts alive with a most agreeable effect. Emile.

Hey! spread to extra glad around... You can fill little glad bags (aren't I clever this morning. LOL!) and send them around the world. Everyone could take out what they need or add more to the bags, before passing them to the next. I could add some today. My Dr. said my pacemaker battery has another years life. That means no sugery this year! Dragon is helping me do my happy dance, on tip toes... Cause I told him my heart is a soaring... After all... Any day without pain is a day of sunshine!
