Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

My Happiness Title

My brain power has surely diminished
Since reaching this ripe old age
Used to be sharp as a tack back then
During my mind's early stage

Where'd they go, the years have just flown
Yesterday, I was young and eager
Today, all my happy dreams have come true
But I'm still a knowledge seeker

Can never get enough of this great big world
With it's magic and secrets untold
Our brains can hold so much new knowledge
Experiencing the future unfold

Sadly we eventually must all say goodbye
To the world and our friends so vital
Okay that's enough of these negative whoohaas
It's contrary to my happiness title

But can have fun... fun... fun... til we all get together again! After all, we need a few good stories to tell them! Jack Ellison May 29, 2015 at 5:56 AM Won't THAT be a party!!! xxx
