Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

The Power of the Positive

The joy that other people possess
Is well within our reach
We're all made up of similar stuff
I'm sure you've heard this speech

Well my friends, in my experience
It's a true and a provable fact
The more you look on the bright side
The more positive people react

They observe your sunny outlook
Wish they could feel that way too
It doesn't take much effort
Positive thinking rubs off on you

Picture all that's right with the world
Of the things that you possess
Don't concentrate on the negatives
That will only cause you stress

Happiness is quite an infectious thing
Belt out an old good times song
Sooner or later believe me, folks
People will start singing along

It's really the power of positive thinking
Happy always wins in the end
It's a human thing, we're born to laugh
So chuckle yourself silly, my friends

Carol Eastman September 15, 2014 at 10:42 AM Yep! With Dragon's fiery personality... It's his Happy, and smiley persona that wins him the day! And the fact that everyone's wondering just what he'll do next. And we ALL know there'll ALWAYS be a next time! Even Grandpa Troll isn't so frightening, cause he's always wearing a smile... Now I look grumpy. But that's just my made for radio face. It's said I'm really quite the charmer once you get to know me. That's so sweet. You and Cathie must be smiling all the time... Sic em tiger! LOL Jack Ellison September 15, 2014 at 1:56 PM With all the ugly stuff going on in the world, it's getting harder and harder to be positive... but the alternative ain't great either! Love ya dear friend! XOXOX
