My Bucket List

Some girls want a palace in the sky

Dream of trinkets money can buy

The world's treasures, a mound of gold

They crave the fortunes of old

Gowns spun from starlight and shoes of crystal glass

Wanting a life only money amass

But in my dreams, there are no diamond crowns

Or marble mansions in foreign towns

Instead, I ask for simpler treasures

The ones that don’t require grand gestures

All I wish is scribbled down

My desires not many, no need for a gown

To sleep in all day, wrapped in warmth

Awakening in your arms, embracing my worth

And in this cocoon of serenity

My heart finds its peaceful melody

To the lullaby of rain, dancing on glass

In this gentle rhythm, all fears pass

The moon may lure, the stars may seduce

But for such whims, I have no use

For dreams of Hollywood and fairy tales

Are no match for love that never fails

My bucket list may seem quaint

But in simplicity, I find my saint

So here it is, for all to see

My list, my desires, my simple decree

It's not grandiose, there are no mountains to climb

No valleys to conquer, no battles in prime

It's short and sweet, sincere and true

Just one thing missing, and that thing is you

While other girls chase shiny cars

Dreaming of galaxies and shooting stars

Here I remain, wanting but you

To make my simple dreams come true

It’s you, dear love, in every little thing

In every wish, every word, every tune I sing

My essence craves for your touch, your words

whispered true

Each breath a gift, every moment a present given only by you

An existence, not aiming for glitz, glamour, or fame

My contentment lies right here, in the simplicity of your name

My list doesn’t vie for sparkling diamonds or dazzling stars

Nor a flamboyant ride in shiny, towering cars

The ambitions of my heart in sincerity lay bare

Each penned down thought in earnest does declare

To rest in your arms until twilight yields to day

Listen to the rain’s rhythm against the window as it may

My list, you see, is plain and true, as the love that in my heart grew

For all I ever wanted and ever will, is a simple life with you

The innocence of my dreams and desires, lies open for you to see

Simple and sweet, that's what my heart wants to be

So here I wait, hoping you see

In my arms, is where you should be

Come rain or shine, whatever the day

In my arms is where you should stay

Completing my list, with the warmth you bring

In this life together, our love will sing

I'm keeping it short and sweet

My bucket list, is no great feat

All I need is you and me

A cocoon of warmth and serenity

My list, my wishes, in these lines they exist

My bucket list, my only bucket list
