A Bucket List Rewritten
To climb a mountain, but I ran out of steam
Sat down on a boulder to wait for the team
To learn to ski, but that did not go well
Cracked my tail bone when down I fell
To learn to dance, in my youth t’was grand
Now with bad feet I am lucky to stand
Think I'll make a new list of things I can do...
A smile for a stranger
A helping hand for a friend
Empathy for those in pain
A sad heart to mend...
Reading your poems and sharing mine with you.
