A Happiness Loaner

Decided to rent out my heart, I'm known as a happiness loaner My love of this earth and all things beautiful do totally runneth over With my advancing years it seems My love has become more extreme But please be aware the heart that I offer is really only a loaner © Jack Ellison 2015

This one's a great one too...some give away happiness freely...others harvest it..I think you're a harvester..and you give quite a lot! I like that your love has become more extreme. The more we grow, the more complex we become, the more interesting we are, and the more we have to offer. Not always, but usually. Always, Laura

Very profound, my dear Laura... you have read it well! I'm no great philosopher, but as we age, we live and learn every single day! Thank you once more for being so kind to this old duffer! Love ya! xxx

That's OK... Only a moment should do it for the average guy... But remember to keep it away from Dragons... They're Horders... You might never get it back! Honest!

I love the twist in this one...a happiness loaner...it's a much needed commodity today.
