I'M Inspired

I'm inspired by the bright morning sunshine By the song of the birds in the trees I'm inspired by the smiles on everyone's face The cool fresh morning breeze I'm inspired by the neighbour's friendly hello As the world goes by in a whirl I'm inspired by all the sweet friends I meet From every part of the world I'm inspired by the sunset with it's aura of gold By the charm of a tender sweet heart Inspired by the laughter of a newborn baby And how they grow up to be smart I'm inspired by a symphony written by Brahms Or a lively little children's song By the friendliness of our Golden Retriever Or our kitten as she purrs along But mostly I'm inspired by sweet life itself With it's up, it's downs and it's spice So no matter what lies just up ahead I can say life's sure been a slice © Jack Ellison 2015

Dragon and I would be shocked if you weren't inspired by all these wonderful things.You sound a lot like Grandpa Troll... He's in love with life too... Smart fellows... You and He!... Dragon, Hubby, Me, and the menagerie are just enjoying skipping down the road.
