Ode to life!

I am a crazy ecstatic lover of life!

Life, open my heart and mind…my entire being to you.

Star-crossed lovers were only friends by comparison;

A smashed drunkard sober.

Devoted to you like an adoring spouse,

Protective of you like a thoughtful parent,

Sharing of you like a generous gift-giver,

Celebratory of you like a Mardi Gras partier,

Playful with you like excited children at hide-and-seek,

Affectionate with you like dreamy young lovers,

Trusting of you like a wide-eyed child,

Thankful to you like a gracious guest visiting a dear friend’s home,

Silent and reflective of you like a still pond.
