The List

This year is almost over, oh boy the time flew
I wanted to climb Mount Rushmore with my son
But now is not the time I don’t want to catch the flu
The weather is changing, and where on earth is the sun?

The golden orb must be on vacay, it's not even a week 
Also, I planned to swim across the vast  ocean too
But after I swam a few laps in the pool, I got weak
I had no clue that would happen after lap two

Finally, I canceled my planned adventures one by one, one 
Next year I’ll go to the moon and look at Mr. moon and say hi
My list may be extreme, but writing it down feels like I won
And free as a multicolored, majestic bird flying way up high

We can escape through writing and pen many fanciful things which make us feel as if we had done them! Thanks for the smile :) I Am Anaya

Oh it is to cold to climb to climb on a mountain. Our bucket list is a task to partake and succeed. Blessings friend
