Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Saying Goodbye Was Hard

I dearly miss my friends at The Glen
Where we spent eight very happy years
Never realized how happy they were
Each day was filled with good cheer

Friends galore, lots of things to do
It was our choice to join in or not
Help was  there, if we ever needed it
The friendships were over the top

The choice to sell up and move away
Was certainly a difficult decision
Financially things got overwhelming
So the logical choice was written

Truly wish we could have stayed forever
But sadly it just wasn't in the cards
I'll always remember all the good times
Saying goodbye was oh so hard!

Wayland Bunch December 24, 2013 at 2:58 AM A wonderful sad poem. I don't see too many of these from you, but again excellent work. Sorry you had to relocate, but often change offers and opens up new opportunities, and I know you're just the person to see those opportunities. Merry Christmas. Kind of weird saying that to Santa Clause lol. Jack Ellison December 24, 2013 at 1:02 PM Missed that great bunch of souls and I guess I'll never forget that part of my life! Christmas wishes from Santa!!! LOL

Russell Sivey December 21, 2013 at 1:19 AM Yes Jack, good-bye's are one of the most difficult things to do! At least they are still alive and you can visit them sometimes!

Jack Ellison December 21, 2013 at 9:12 AM You're right, I can still and still do visit! Merry Christmas Russell to you and family!

Richard Lamoureux December 20, 2013 at 7:25 PM I know the feeling, I have had my share of goodbyes. Jack Ellison December 21, 2013 at 9:09 AM This last one was the most difficult of all! Merry Christmas to you and yours, Rick!

Carol Eastman December 20, 2013 at 7:47 AM My Dad is leaving the hospital today. He's a mean to the nurses and staff. They won't miss him... He treats them badly and then wonders why they give him a room all alone in the south forty... UNBELIEVABLE!... Be glad you have friends... My Dad has a rather short list... And if he wasn't my father... I probably wouldn't be on it either... He's that bad!... But I love him... in spite of himself... No wonder I love Dragon so much... They're alike! Amazing! Can't believe I didn't see it before! Jack Ellison December 20, 2013 at 7:55 AM So sad to hear my dear Carol but I understand a daughter's love! XOXOXOX
