Jack Ellison Poet Narrative

What the World Needs Now

What the world needs now

Is love, sweet love

Sound familiar???

No truer words were ever spoken

Love makes the world go round

Everything else is secondary

Us humans seem to be hellbent

On destroying everything that's good and decent

It's beyond all logical explanation

We all need to step back

And take a good look at what we've got

It shouldn't always be about what we don't have

Before you know it, we reach our golden years

And what was so very important once

No longer seems to matter one iota

RELAX... GO WITH THE FLOW

Live, love, laugh... it feels sooo damn good!

Carol Eastman June 5, 2014 at 9:30 AM Grandpa Troll caught up with me while chasing Dragon and collecting his penguins... He threw me into the wagon and away we went! I'd scoop up penguins as he went racing by them... Then he caught up to Dragon and picked him up by the scruff of his neck and told him he needed to pull the cart home... Worked! Now Dragon's having fun just showing off for us! And we laughed all the way home...You're right... What's important one moment isn't always important the next... You tell em Jack!
