Submitted by Clentin

I fell in love with a heart so true,
I cherish moments, both old and new.
I learned from failures of the past
I pray these actions will always last

My bucket list as a young man, so vast,
A journey of self-discovery, meant to last.
I chased my dreams with passion and might,
In the pursuit of life, to find the light.

Now that life is closer to the end
My bucket list begins to bend
A list once so big and wide
Now is small but full of pride

I no longer wish for cars or money
I seek love and comfort and a bit of honey
I want to see my family live with success
Free of illness free of stress

My bucket list

Was basically winning the lottery

Very ambitious

Now that I'm older, I pray for more simpler things

I pray I can pay a bill, on time

I pray, God will give me grace

I pray for Peace

.

Your poem reminded me of my youth

It's quite veritable!

Well done
