Before I kick the bucket, I plan on riding this vehicle called life until the wheels fall off. I want to touch The Wailing Wall. If I could, I would carve my name on Stonehenge and write "I was here" underneath it. I plan to visit it in my lifetime! I plan on floating on The Dead Sea. I plan to continue seeking happiness without it, my life would be bleak empty and meaningless. I plan to continue appreciating the abundance of riches that life offers me, to continue loving God, my savior . I'll keep dreaming lofty dreams, with both eyes wide open, I'll keep doing what brings me joy and satisfaction. I'll keep my passion for poetry white-hot! You best believe I'll publish em'! I'll continue taking risks and chances, as scary as the what-ifs are. And most importantly, I plan to continue living a life of purpose; choosing love over hate and loving... all who love me in return . I've got plenty of life to live before... I kick the bucket!
