Will Power

Some days are diamonds Some days aren't that great After many many years on this planet Earth I've discovered attitude makes a huge difference This WILL be a good day because I WILL it to be WILLing it CAN make it so Where there's a WILL, there's a way An old saying but it still holds true today We must always look on the bright side of life Days of sadness are unavoidable But can be made less formidable by one's attitude As we age, those things that were so very important No longer have the same relevance Our outlook on live is much more relaxed Much more like 'WHATEVER!” It's really too bad this feeling can't be achieved While we're young To enjoy while we still have many years ahead of us I guess I should practice what I preach Because today is not turning out to be a good one But my WILL and ATTITUDE to survive WILL see me through © Jack Ellison 2014

Dragon leads us to the bright side, with his fire!... We never get a chance to stop and feel the pains of old age with him around...! Those aches and pains diminish in strength, as we are running for our lives. As when he tromps toward you, it's your life that's on the line... His hugs are the strongest things... that I have ever endured... But his love must truly come straight from God... for it helps us to endure it all... Catchy, EH! LOL... Hope you have a great day!
