Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Our New Digs

Just moved to our brand new abode
Been checking out the surroundings
Overjoyed with what we've discovered
Find our new digs really astounding

Everything is just a stones throw away
It's a vibrant and exciting new town
Parks and trails to keep our bodies in shape
A whole new lifestyle we've found

Feels like we've just travelled back in time
Recapturing our youth once more
Like a fresh new beginning, a fresh new start
With exciting new things to explore

This life changing move was long overdue
It's so easy to become complacent
And miss out on all the good things in life
Things that provide enrichment

What I'm suggesting if this could be you
It doesn't have to be quite so drastic
Just a simple thing a bit out of the ordinary
The results you'll find are fantastic

Wayland Bunch July 23, 2013 at 6:06 PM Glad you like the new place. I think some people avoid change so much they don't realize how refreshing a new start can be. Keep up the great work

Carol Eastman July 22, 2013 at 2:28 PM Your home! So I should sing 'Welcome to my world... Won't you come on in...' Can't remember who sang it, but it sounds sooo coool. Doctor said I needed a therapist for my legs who said I needed a cane... He said it would keep me from falling...Naw... No way... I would fall over every time I dropped the silly cane... LOL... I get around just fine... a few exercises will do... or walking my 86lb puppy......opps... She's getting older... I'm beginning to get the idea she needs a cane...
