Bucket List

maybe see the deepest valley in the ocean
or Mars
maybe see the Lincoln and Vietnam Memorial
or Tibet
maybe see the oldest living tree on the planet
or the Parthenon
maybe see Bethlehem and the Wailing Wall
or a volcano
maybe see distant relatives I've never known
or yesterday...

or you again
maybe see both of you again, before I die
before I die again...

Andrea Dietrich Date: 3/18/2013 2:55:00 PM the many maybe's you wrote makes me think none of them will ever happen. So this seems very sad. I wonder: who are the "two" you refer to in final line!! Login to Reply
