Jack Ellison Poet Narrative

I'Ve Lived My Life To the Fullest

People have opinions about everything

It's our inalienable right I guess

To believe what we believe without outside influences

To discover with our very own eyes and heart

It's much more likely these facts will be retained

More than reading them in some ancient old manuscript

Living, investigating and researching the facts for ourselves

We learn by living through all of life's experiences

The good stuff, the bad stuff, the happy stuff, the sad stuff

But the moments that makes our hearts skip a beat

Are the most joyous moments as we walk through life

Watching the sun rise every morning

We never fail to be amazed by Mother Nature

Life is still the greatest mystery

How? Why? What does it all mean?

We don't need to know the answer to all of life's mysteries

We just need to enjoy them while we're here

And try our best to leave with the knowledge

“I've lived my life to the fullest”

Carol Eastman March 27, 2014 at 11:35 AM Oh... Jack... Jack... Jack... You haven't lived your life to the fullest til you adopt a Dragon egg of your own. Honest! Then you'll enjoy life more, because life will be WAY more precious! Just think, as problems abound you'll appreciate all that you HAD Before Dragon accidentally singed them. And friends...Well, after Dragon comes... You'll definitely know who the real ones are! Get a good pair of running shoes that barbecue sauce can be washed off of! Our moto is Live, Love, Write & run!
