Things To Do Before I Die

There are things I want to do before I die
I want to swim with sharks and sea life alike
Travel the globe and see all the sights
Sing to an audience, right into the mike
Capture a moment, in the limelight
Help the needy, cherish their thanks
Never let a good day out of my sight
Learn to drive in a big army tank
Never regret one single day of my life
Finish this list before I die
And learn to live, love, forget and survive.
