To Live A Life.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

to live a life and be true
to it
to know your nature and
just be
to be sincere to what is
handed by God
which you as his servant
must receive with
gladness
whatever that be
and sometimes you do not
understand why
and you live this life and live
it well
and whatever that is, if there be
pain or regrets or
an attempt to grasp the meaning,
you keep on living and living
and without misgiving,
you take the cup
drink it and not tell anyone
else
as to what is the taste.
