I
have made
a wish list,
of things to do
and places to see.
Live for the whole summer
in the south of France, cooking
my way through the farmers’ markets.
Taste and see the bounty of Ireland.
Behold the wonders of the Grand Canyon.
To see the world before mine gets too small.
Unpredictable currents of life
can alter our paths, creating
a desire to not look back
but to look forward to
experiences,
things left undone
when life got
in the
way.
