Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Like a Warm Cozy Sweater

The sun is shining, not a cloud up above
How could life be any better
Good health and the love of a very sweet lady
Life is like a warm cozy sweater

The rain can't even dampen my spirits
I'm meant to live life on a high
I see nothing but positive signs every day
Of love and bright sunny skies

This can't be true, I've heard people say
One can't always be upbeat every day
Once in a while, there's gotta be sad things
You encounter along the way

Of course they're right, but the difference is
I don't let these things get me down
They are all a part of this thing we call living
It's my choice to smile, not frown

The sun is shining, not a cloud up above
How could life be any better
Good health and the love of a very sweet lady
Life is like a warm cozy sweater

Carol Eastman July 2, 2015 at 10:19 AM The sun is shining with not a cloud in the sky? You're not bragging to some one in a monsoon season are you? We really do need to see the sun. And we're not supposed to have a monsoon season! Honest! You need to get your feet wet, so you can splash around with us. We're doing the musical(in the park),'Singing in The Rain'. Bet you didn't see that one coming? LOL... Our raccoon came back last night and slept in our tree again. He tried to eat bird seed, but the birds didn't leave any. Poor baby!
