Bucket List
It never even crossed
my mind
that growing old
might be
quite so unkind
as it is now turning out ..
Today tho’ I realise
that back in the day ..
When that
first flush of youth
passed me by
I had then failed and so
miserably,
to consider, take into
account, or even
acknowledge so many
universal truths ..
Therefore, my latest,
updated bucket list
consists of all those
things
I have not yet done ..
So just in case,
I come too soon or
maybe, stay too late ..
I want you to know
my love
I decided long ago ..
To henceforth,
approach life full on
and not to stall,
or pause, or for one
single moment
hesitate, but rather
always, do what
feels good at the time ..
