My Bucket List and Thoughts on Bucket Lists
My Bucket List


Before my weary body rests
Under plants in a garden of stone
Content to decompose
Knowing its atoms return to the
Earth, I want to do five things.
To have five adventures before I die.

Long ride in a hot air balloon,
I want to visit Mount Carmel in Israel,
Sleep in a Bed and Breakfast,
To find and visit my father's grave,
See the Baha'i temple in India.

Thoughts on Bucket Lists


Each time I read my bucket list,
I cry
because
Mom bucket list
and my Grandmother, too.

Both died before completing
and their souls
repose in paradise;
I hope and pray
that they
will complete them there.
