Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Written In the Stars

The day was Wednesday, May 20th, 2015
A day that seemed like all others
But for one major difference, I'll now explain
An uncredible coincidence was uncovered

Two friends on the Soup wrote each other a poem
Extolling their deep mutual love
A love that surely must be written in the stars
Fitting like the old hand in glove

Since this magical happening, I've yet to recover
My old mind is still in a whirl
To imagine a friendship as deep as an ocean
Like the first love of boy and girl

Although our ages are many decades apart
Seems not to matter in the least
This truly blessed union of two loving souls
Is a sweet and tender love feast

Time will help me recover from this event
Surely it was meant to occur
This melding of two souls was written in the stars
Sending our two hearts in a whirl

Cyndi Macmillan May 25, 2015 at 12:42 PM :D Made me smile. My dad met my stepmom and said THAT DAY, "this is the woman I am going to marry." It took two months to convince her. They were married three months after meeting. They've both passed on... but they said, "life is short. You find love, you go for it!" Jack Ellison May 25, 2015 at 1:25 PM Cute tale, dear Cyndi! My first wife passed away 16 years ago and I re-married 14 years! How lucky can one person be! Huggsies, Jack xxx

Carol Eastman May 23, 2015 at 12:11 PM Dragon thinks you're talking about him and Lady Cathie. But doubt that is much of a surprise. He thinks he's a romantic hero after he went to China for the Chinese New Year! Watch out! If he finds out otherwise he might try to steal her away. Fortunately, his blankie and nappie poos will slow him down! He's a Silly Dragon, but we love him.. so won't tell him otherwise. He'll be sending her a blinged out autographed page from his Dragon Super Hero comic book. And we all know how she'll LOVE that!
