Jack Ellison Poet Narrative

Your Inner Voice

Even during the least happy times in our lives

It is never so unhappy that we should ever lose hope 

Whoever said, “Tomorrow is another day”

Had the secret to a happy life

Another is, “Don't sweat the small stuff”

So simple yet so obvious, it make a whole lot of sense

I don't have any secrets or special potions that I take

But after living for almost 8 decades, there are certain things

That make a whole lot of sense and a lot that don't

It's knowing which is which and choosing

The ones that your inner voice tells you

To follow, it makes a hell of lot of sense!

They say with age comes wisdom which is true to a degree

But at any age, it's your inner voice

That should always help you make the right choices

Carol Eastman January 4, 2015 at 8:05 AM Oh, Lordy! Jack tell me you didn't say: let your inner voices help make the right choices. After all... Dragon is listening... After you said that he decided to visit the Shefiff of Crazyland, and leave a present on his roses. Oh woah is me! Gotta grab Grandpa Troll and get Dragon back before WWIII begins erupts! They had such a nice truce since Christmas! Next time tell him which inner voice to listen to. LOL... You get Dragon in sooo much trouble, some times... Get back here Dragon! Now! Sigh!
