Picture Credits:

If this was my last day on earth,
I'd wake early to get all it's worth.
I'd want to see all I could see,
climb the Statue of Liberty.

I'd want to see from shore to shore,
look one time on Mount Rushmore.
Float on a boat down the Nile
Walk the walk on the miracle mile.

Blast off in a rocket into space
Feel the rain upon my face.
Place a bet against the odds
Visit Greece with all it's Gods

See the top of Pikes Peak
Fish with grandpa in the creek.
Taste with pleasure grandma's food
apologize to whom I'd been rude

Thank those that mean so much
friends who's hearts I have touched
Some that may have done me wrong
that have given words to my song

Hug my kids and grandkids too
tell them a last, I Love You!
To gaze again at clear blue skies
Look deeply into my loved ones eyes.

Kiss her lips one last time
tell her that all will be fine
Most of all I'd want to say,
Thanks to God for one last day.

wow! This is lesson in history, geography, philosophy and life. It shows that you are a well-rounded person with a broad range of knowledge. I agree with David and Roger on their critiques.

Your friend,

Rich

This is life in a microcosm. It's a lovely and fluid poem. Though the rhymes may seem just a tad forced, I still think you did a great job painting a whole picture of life and living. The imagery is superb and the theme is actually a very good one. I for one, have not had the opportunity or time to travel to the places that I want to. This poem is a great eye-opener, for time is short and precious. Thank you for this beautiful poem.

Very heartfelt and makes us think of the important things in life.
A couple suggestions:
"tell them a (this should probably be 'at')last, I Love You!"
"Least of all I'd want to say," Somehow I think this should say "Most of all I'd want to say".
I know that is what you meant.
