Make The Most Of Midlife Poem by RIC BASTASA

if you wait about what midlife
has to offer

you become a loser
because you expect an offering of such age

midlife is an age of giving
of making other people's dreams come true

make the most of it
let others grow let others have their own way

watch them
bloom
watch them
find their destinies

watch them
laugh

and then you are
what you want to be

a kingmaker
a dream weaver

a happy person
simply watching time go by.
