Exuberance

To define the word 'exuberance' One need not go to the Net Watch two puppies meet on the street That's as happy as happy gets That's real 'exuberance' personified As they tug upon the leash Tails both wagging a mile a minute A couple of ecstatic beasts What if we allowed 'em both to go free Exploring until they dropped They'd surely be two happy pooches Till in their dog house they flopped We could learn a lesson from these guys Begin each day with a smile Cram in as much as you possibly can Never know if it's your final mile ©Jack Ellison 2012

These poems are gems, Jack. This reminds me to keep smiling. There is nothing more uplifting than a couple of joyous puppies. (: Excellent poem, lesson well executed! Always, Always, Laura
