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...
