Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Bring Your Own Sunshine

Wherever you go, don't forget
Bring your own sunshine along
To brighten up the path you travel
Singing a happiness song

It's certainly possible, look at me
Can't wipe this smile from my face
Mona Lisa can't hold a candle to Jacko
Brightening the darkest place

Am I happy with my life so far
Bet yer sweet bippie I am
Was never much of a complainer ever
Or a down-in-the-mouth type man

So wherever you go, don't forget
Give everyone your big high fives
Never leave home without your sunshine 
You'll brighten up so many lives

Toquyen Harrell January 5, 2013 at 5:42 AM It is like the rain from heaven. We need to rain, to soak someone haha. Envelope them, bring them out of the dry, protective shell and let loose. That is my philosophy- Shake up. You are up a little bit early, huh Jack? Enjoy your day! Toquyen Harrell January 5, 2013 at 5:51 AM It's 6:50 a.m. now :) Jack Ellison January 5, 2013 at 5:44 AM I've always been an early riser! And you... what time is it where you are? Have a happy!
