Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Blessed

What makes a person always want more
Never satisfied with what they possess
Always trying to get ahead of the pack
When what counts is just to be blessed

Blessed with the love of family and friends
And a life filled with good times and joy
To know they'll be there to comfort you
When your spirits need to be buoyed

Blessed in the knowledge no matter what
You can count on their loyal support
It's the greatest feeling you can ever imagine
Knowing they'll never come up short

What makes a person always want more
When what counts is just to be blessed
With the undying love of those you hold dear
And their sweet and loving caress


Happy New Year Everyone!

Laura Breidenthal December 7, 2022 at 2:31 PM What a great perspective to have Jack. A good reminder to be thankful for what you have. We are certainly blessed in so many ways. I suppose it is the human spirit to always want more. Good to be reminded of this outlook. Always, Laura

Carol Eastman December 31, 2012 at 2:10 PM I love it... But watch out... my imagination is trying to surface... It always takes me away somewhere unusual... LOL... Don't worry I'll be back by dinner time... For hugs and kisses from family and animals... They like hearing my stories...All except my son...He runs... I shouldn't do that to him...But it's sooo much fun. Happy New Year to you and yours...
