Higher Than a Kite

Sometimes things are a real hassle Other times they turn out right When things turn out on the positive side We can fly higher than a kite There's lotsa ugly stuff to go around For the likes of us guys to share Happiness and good times are needed So we don't pull out our hair Old guys like me really should know Many many years of living Taught me how to roll with the punches Learn the secret of forgiving So summing this up in a neat little package It's up to each of us each day Treating stuff like a brand new challenge And sail happily into the fray © Jack Ellison 2015

Hassle? Where?... Maybe we have tunnel vision here, but every thing that messes up is really a opportunity... Even when Drsagon accidently knocks me down... Cause then he's sorry and gives me a ride in the clouds... Tho those crash landings could be a bit more optional!... LOL
