Jack Ellison Poet Narrative

I Thought So

If you had just one last wish

Before crossing that final thresh hold

Tell me what would it be?

Would you spend your final hours 

On a beach enjoying the Florida sunshine?

Perhaps wrapped the arms of

A beautiful shapely model?

Or maybe enjoying an expensive meal

Fit for a king with barrels of champagne

And all the food you've ever wished for

But could never afford

OR would you just simply like be surrounded

By friends and loved ones

To say goodbye and tell them how much

They have always meant to you

I though so!

Darlene Gifford October 8, 2014 at 11:17 AM Jack, that is a thought provoking question. Family and friends, of course. But among them, if I could win one more soul for Jesus before I went home, that would be heaven to me. Blessings, Darlene Jack Ellison October 8, 2014 at 2:49 PM You are a sweetie, my dear Darlene! Perhaps we'll meet on the other side! Loving hugs, Jack XXX

Carol Eastman October 7, 2014 at 3:13 PM Took the words right out of my mouth. I'd want to see my loved ones one last time, and see Dragon to a home where he can continue on, with his penguins, and the Trolls, and that cute cuddeling cricket, of course! Hmmm. I might need an aprentice. Well, guess I'll keep going for a while till I find one... I need to take care of so many and see to Hubby, too. As they say... No rest for the wicked! And you know me... But eventually they'll have to make it on their own... So I can rest my eyes. Jack Ellison October 8, 2014 at 8:06 AM You are so wicked, dear Carol! LOL Loving hugs, Jack XXX
