Almost everyone has one
Whether they know it or not
To be at peace in nature
Or winner of a lottery jackpot
Dine of fine Italian cuisine
Or paint a stunning masterpiece
Climb Mt. Everest
Find cures for the world’s disease
Swoon to all hours of the night
Adopt a rescue animal
Be the first to set foot on Mars
Put behind bars a wanted criminal
Cross the finish line
Of the famous Boston Marathon
Sing your heart out at the Grand ‘Ole Opry
Look across the Grand Canyon
All these things and hundreds more
On many a Bucket List
Personally, I’ve compiled
Choices I can’t resist
Master the art of an acoustic guitar
Shake the hand of Mr. Carl Yastrzemski
Drive my‘72 ‘cuda 340 6-pack 4-speed
Spend a day in Heaven with family
To hear the voice
Of a long-lost love
To see her smile again
An answered prayer on stars above
