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.

I love the humour in your old list and as for your new list Betty - and these things cost nothing but mean so much to other people:-) hugs Jan xx
