It is my belief
that we all reach a place
in our lives
where a bucket list
in this world
no longer applies.
 
No I am not depressed.
Nor do I have a negative attitude
toward this physical life.
 
There was a strange thing
that happened to me
when I turned seventy this year.
Wisdom finally kicked me
in the ass.
 
I came to the realization
that many opportunities
came my way to fulfill
what was an ongoing
bucket list in my past years.
 
The list never was fulfilled.
I was too stupid to take advantage
of the many blessings
my Lord placed before me.
 
I now realize the bucket list
that I held for so long
will be the list of my
next life.
 
Still with each of my dreams
that were not a given in my life
I still thank my Lord and Savior
for the many blessings
He has rendered me.
 
I live in courage
with my Lord each day
in being prepared
for His calling.
