Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Don'T Need a Shove

Am I just one of a very rare few
That feels this love of love
Is it my age why I'm feeling this way
Don't feel I need a shove

Comes very natural to this old guy
As with the younger souls
Nothing special just run of the mill
Love is part of my whole

Thought that's how it'd always remain
The way the world should be
But men seem to have this penchant
For countries to disagree

Maybe us humans will get back on track
And live our lives as one
Instead of always fighting each other
Forever keeping peace on the run

Am I just one of a very rare few
That feels this love of love
Is it my age why I'm feeling this way
Don't feel I need a shove

Carol Eastman November 11, 2013 at 10:30 AM When we're younger we are into our own thing... So the tolerance is less for other things... Even our love is more single minded... Life is so busy we can't see any farther than our noses... When we get older we don't just give lip service to things... We seriously ponder them... and learn to truly enjoy life.. Dragon wants you to have many years of pondering and enjoyment... Jack Ellison November 11, 2013 at 10:44 AM Did you actually write this my dear Carol... it was a breath of fresh air! You actually made some very astute comments to which I couldn't agree more! Thank you muchly for this my dear Carol!!!!!!!!! xoxox
