I 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!
