Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Life Is Never a Straight Line

Life is never a straight line
Full of twists and turns and detours
What an fantastic exciting ride it is
As above the clouds we soar

Wishing the joy will never end
A lifetime of love and happiness
If you're among the fortunate ones
Among those continually blessed

Not sure “sad” is the proper word
To describe those less fortunate souls
Maybe it's just that the right affair
Hasn't yet begun to unfold

We were all meant to find the love
Of a soulmate to live with through life
That one time amazing experience
That we never ever feel twice

Life is never ever a straight line
It's an amazing over the top feeling
So cherish all those memorable times
One's that set you heart reeling

Carol Eastman October 5, 2013 at 12:22 PM My Hubby loves Borp our toad... Whom he thinks is toadilly awesome. We got worried when the tree limb came down... Seems he ran away to the neighbors yard for a while. But we discovered a bunch of gutter frogs... Much to Mike's delight... Unfortunately, Borp got jealous. He came back... But will only show himself to me... Seems Hubby's friendship with the gutter frogs has his warts out of joint... Oh! Well! After playing Hide and Seek with Hubby... they'll both be happy! Kids and their games! Jack Ellison October 5, 2013 at 10:05 PM So you've got Mike involved with all your friends too! LOL Oh boy!!! LOL xoxoxoxox
