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” © Jack Ellison 2014

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! LOL
