Gone

Don’t wonder what you’ll miss when it or they are gone.

Buy the ticket,

See the game,

Go to the concert,

Eat at the greasy spoon

And find a greasier spoon.

Call that friend,

Take that flight,

Even if you stay only two days,

Make the trip.

Do not make the end of your life sentence

A list of regrets

And coulda beens.

Make your own bucket list,

Call it your own damn fuck it list.

Open up the checkbook,

The kids want but don’t need your money.

They need you to be the younger you

Until the older you is gone.
