Ain'T Done Yet

AIN'T DONE YET What does it feel like to no longer exist Does memory linger on, will our soul be missed Do minds still function though our bodies are dust Answers to these queries I'll find out I trust Could be tomorrow, it could be today Here's the bottom line, I don't have much say Hope I'm around for few years to come Hate to succumb if my life here's not done Haven't seen Hawaii or the Taj Mahal Cruised the Danube, seen China's Great Wall The Eiffel Tower is still on my list Ireland's blarney stone I haven't yet kissed Hate to miss a trip to the land down under The Statue of Liberty one of the world's wonders Seems like I should stick around for a while Haven't had the thrill of feeding the crocodiles Perhaps I'll forgo the crocodile thing There's a chance it will hasten my very last fling So all in all, I'll be around for a while Missed seeing these landmarks since I was a child!

Another look at a life and its adventures. I have seen lots, but there's more I'll never see. I think I'll forego the crocodiles, if you don't mind. Thanks for writing this, Jack.

Crocodiles can be tons of fun??? No? Well I've never had a close up experience but methinks that it could be quite "awe inspiring"!!! LOL
