Jack Ellison Poet Limerick

Life's Still a Big Gamble

There's only so much joy this guy can handle
It soon overcomes me and life gets all scrambled
They say we're entitled 
To happiness unrivaled
But we shouldn't get cocky, life's still a big gamble

Lindsay Laurie April 24, 2015 at 7:00 PM Very wise words young Jack... once we wake up in the morning everything becomes a gamble through the day - catch you soon - Lindsay Jack Ellison April 24, 2015 at 7:58 PM But really, the choice is ours how we handle the ups and downs! A happy positive outlook wins most of the time!!! Jake

Carol Eastman April 24, 2015 at 1:02 PM The blissful joy will come in the after life... When pain is gone with the strife... Then we'll handle it well... While under God's spell... As hopefully in Heaven we will dwell. Jack Ellison April 24, 2015 at 3:43 PM Assuming we're heading up and not down!!!! LOL xxx
