My Bucket List


I have so much I want to do
before I'm laid to rest
I want to see and do it all
complete my bucket list

I want to shout from mountain tops
and sail in clear blue seas
To travel all around the world
and see the Redwood trees

My fear is that I'll wait too long
and then I cannot go
The years they now go flying by 
and aging takes its toll

The time has come to set aside
the life I've come to know
Fulfill the dreams I put away
so many years ago

    Hope Williams Iove this one, Jon. When I was told I had cancer, I said it was all in God's hands and I made my Bucket List. I have been able to cross off #1 and that was to see my youngest grandson, Chase graduate from High School and he heads for Auburn this weekend for a new phase of his life and #2 on my list was to see my only granddaughtergraduate and she is a Senior this year. This poem has special meaning to me. Thank you for sharing.
