The Rest of My Life  (Embracing Happiness)

I want to be like
Gene Kelly "Singing
In The Rain."
I want to be like
Fred Astaire dancing
with Ginger Rogers.
I want to be like
Humprey Bogart spending
time with Lauren Bacall.
I want to pull the cork
on Barbara Eden's bottle
and "Dream of Jeanne."
But most of all
I want to be in
the arms of Suzie,
embracing happiness
for the rest of
my life.

Note:The original bottle
used in "I Dream of Jeanne"
was a 1964 Jim Beam decanter.

I second that wish, James.

Go for it!
Nice write James.
Reminds me of one of my favorite
CCR songs "Oh Susie Q"

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself.
