Before Death Takes Me

I long to live by the sea... A house among the shoreline, quiet and at peace The sight of the ocean through the window from my bed Brisk winds and a vivid sunset, a days worth to never forget... And I desire to see the City of Rome... The inspiration that brought my novel to a close The Duomo and the town they call Florence, Italy There is no other place in the world I'd rather be... Oh yeah, A trip to see Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park... Boston, I'm told has many historical landmarks You recieve a map that shows where they stand A brick trail to follow, the day couldn't be better planned... Maybe, To one day have a star named after me... Where I can point to the sky and say, "That ones named Michelle, that one there, do you see?" A thing so simple but something that will forever exist Another starry night where I will be remembered, never missed... But then, A single wish that may push those things to second best... A marriage to a wonderful man..Who? Go ahead, take a guess The cherished moment that leads to a lovely life Just to remain so happy and be a faithful wife...
