My One Day Bucket List©
When I was young life was tough enough
As I sat behind that old wooden school desk I would dare to dream
I had a dream that…
One day I would fly a plane and soar like the birds in the sky away from the pain
One day I would find someone to love and be loved back just because they wanted to
One day I would have friends and feel like I belonged and not be different
One day I would own a home, a house to call my own because it looked like everyone else
One day I would sail the oceans to know what it would be like to be totally surrounded by water and feel like no one could find me to hurt me anymore
One day I would make money so no one would know I was poor
One day I would move a thousand miles away to an island so
No one would know I was not okay
One day I would own a business so that I could control my destiny
One day I would travel, to see what made the Panama possible and
Learn how deep the Grand Canyon is, see why people go to Las Vegas and experience what it would be like in Alaska
One day I would return to my father’s place of birth and see where it all began on that small family farm in the middle of seemingly nowhere and how he got to be so far away to escape a war
One day I would be there when Mom and Dad were passing on
So that they would not feel alone as they made that last human transition
One day I realized how my dreams had turned into reality that
Those early beginnings became an incredible life
Filled with family and friends
One day aspiration had turned into inspiration and inspiration into reality.
One day looks like inspiring others both young and not so young to hold on during those dark moments for the light to shine through and the opportunity for dreams to come true
One day
