From A To Z..... Poem by RIC BASTASA

i am telling you now
there were lots of
un-revealed passions from
a
to z

from a to
z all these loves
unrequited

i am telling you
i survived them
all

learned a lot of these
mechanics
from
a
to z

that which did not
kill me
to repeat
have made me
stronger

smarter, sharpened my
wit
multiplied my humor

and thanks to all for
now i am
like you all

normal in all aspects
adaptable
to all changes
flexible like
our childhood rubber
bands
rolling like marble
and

stretched well
like mother's yarn
and

never snapped.
