Just a Simple Minded Sob

Without the love of another human being The world is a lifeless place The path to happiness is lined with pitfalls Making it difficult to keep pace But the undying love of a special someone Helps us to make it through The pitfalls all seem much less daunting A much clearer path ensues Why is it so difficult to get through our heads Seems very simple to me I'm not a brilliant philosopher or thinker Just a simple minded S.O.B. Us humans were always meant to find love Or keep searching until we do It's all a part of the great master blueprint Love will always see us through Without the love of another human being The world is a lifeless place Resembling a landscape of a distant planet Best leave it without a trace © Jack Ellison 2014

We've got family love here... and the love for fewer bruises when D Dragon is around! I have another word for you... Petulant... What everyone becomes who owns a Dragon! Or Crazy... They both work! Dragon likes being called D'Bomb! Says it's powerful... I think it should be Persnickety! What would you name him? Remember PoetrySoup says ' No Bad Words'. Yea! Dragon! I said it!... Gotta run! (Want Dragon to run again to clean off the other side of the driveway!) Let the good snow fly!
