A Life That Is Exciting Poem by RIC BASTASA

let life be
a way of meeting new friends
guests that come
to your party
those with no names
people who are strangers
coming to your home
befriending your dogs
asking about the names of
your garden flowers
gazing to your world
their mouths gaping
on the wonders
of your world
in the same manner
that you too
enter their worlds
with amazement
let the days come without
marked appointments
blank calendars
brand new days
let life be
a celebration
