Life !
Oh !  Wonderful !

I love the taste of it all !

I love the flavor of flesh !
Its sweet juices !

Oh !
What a wonderful experience !

I love the lean of Life !
I love the fat and gristle !
So hard to chew
and harder to swallow.

I love the marrow
that is found in breaking !
I love the sharp shards
that stab and sting !

Oh !   Wonderful !

I love birth !
I love death !
I love the hills
and valleys
between !

I rejoice
over loved ones
who enter !
I weep over those
who exit!

I rejoice in the weeping !

Oh !  
Wonderful !

The experience of being
an "experiencer" that is
experiencing experiences...

Oh !
What a wonderful experience !

I count it all as joy !

I am a glutton
at the table of LIFE !

Ready to partake
of all placed before me.

I will not turn up my nose at
any of Life's wonderful servings...

and when it is down to
the last savory morsel...

I will gladly wipe my plate clean.
