Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

My Inspiration

Laura Breidenthal inspires me with her loving support
A sweetheart, this cyber friend of mine
Encouraging me to recapture a more inspirational path
Which sadly, has eroded slowly by time

In all my years of writing, Laura has made me feel unique
Makes me feel like I have something to offer
Which my many years on earth have happily instilled in me
Life is like a river of fast-flowing waters

At a loss, I am to express my thanks, other than to offer
These simple words of gratitude I send forth
Laura is the sweetest loyal friend, a truly loving soul
A faithful friend, my loving spiritual source
