The Gist of My Bucket List

Before I die I beg to see
a passion built only for me;
a love that's long in destiny
and one that sets me wild and free.

Before I leave this earthly plane
my wish is that I can exclaim
the virtues of love without pain
in rapture pure without disdain.

Before my time here is all done
I need to shine under the sun;
spend life with that special one
sharing laughter,joy and fun.

Before I'm taken 'round the bend
bridges of love I hope to mend
and ecstasy's the force I send
to take me happily to my end.
