Speaking of Bucket Lists

Accidental Poet

 

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
