The bucket list
Unfulfilled dreams
No one an exception
Every human has some
Things they wanted to do
But never done
Reasons plenty
Usually blamed on Destiny
Convert to reality
Create the opportunity
Life led and lessons learnt
Burdens carried faced the brunt
Problems faced upfront
None left to surmount
Idea of expectancy
Lifes longevity
Some clarity
Based on fraility
Doctors prescribe
More or less correct
Time left on earth
Breaths till last breath
Time and tide
Wait for none
You no exception
Ready for the action
Things not materialized
Thought process conceptualized
From infancy till now
Dont get Into the how
Unrrealised gist
Prepare a list
To do before death
No one knows after that
Follow with zest
Complete tasks ahead
Fulfill before death
Before body under wreath
Lighten the soul
Before its journey behold
Last days on planet
Complete them rather
Than forego it
Kick the bucket metaphor
Your soul had left bedside
Nothing left beside
Things not done and unsaid
Follow your heart
Led by your thought
Fulfill the wish
The soul incomplete with
Prepare your Bucket List
