Kicked Off On My Bucket List
KICKED OFF ON MY BUCKET LIST
Almost nothing to do in my last phase
spending useless idle indolent days.
Completed so-called family duty,
Running only through little activity.
Parents showering blessings from heavenly abode.
Grown up children well- settled abroad.
We siblings meet off and on,
on several occasions.
Now main attraction lies in travel
Where treasures of Nature do marvels.
Three tours were scheduled in my bucket list.
First to go to Norway, next Egypt to visit.
Then to spend time with little princess Arianna
my sweet granddaughter staying in Pennsylvania.
Sphinx Pyramid and cruise on River Nile
calling me: I am old but not senile.
The year Two Thousand Twenty was fixed specific,
But had to leave idea for Covid Pandemic.
Aurora Borealis was my dormant dream in fervor.
Had emotive urge to stay with Arianna in rapture.
All abandoned, as free life went on restriction
of Covid-crisis: Kicked off tours on compulsion.
