Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

You'Re the One At the Wheel

Happy days are here once again
All is right with the world
We sometimes wander a bit off course
But find our way back unnerved

It's all part of this loving existence
That confronts us every day
Must remember to get back on the track
When our heads are led astray

Life too short, shouldn't waste a day
In the overall scheme of things
Really don't have all that many I'm afraid
Say howdy and let your heart sing

Hey youse guys! I can hear you saying
Is this loony toon for real
It's all about how you approach the day
You're the one at the wheel

Paul Callus April 8, 2014 at 3:18 PM I'm in total agreement with you. We are the ones at the wheel. We might find bumpy or winding roads, but a good driver should be able to cope with them:) drive on Jack...honk honk :) // paul Jack Ellison April 9, 2014 at 8:51 AM Some times it's more difficult than others to be positive in this cray world! But we MUST stay positive!!! You, my friend, seem to understand! Cheers from Canada!

Come read it before I keel over with all the excitement... Or with Dragon's jumping up and down! He can kinda forget we humans are so fragile... Silly Dragon!
