"I wish to look back...

I wish to,

Not today,

Someday,

When I've grown old, with grey hair, three legs, wrinkled skin, poor sight, and low hearing,

Sitting in a chair,

Staring at the window,

A beautiful view with the highest mountain and a sea shore,

Birds singing loudly,

With a sea breeze,

Kids playing in the sand,

Couples playing with each other,

Some with friends,

Some out walking their pets,

And some in their own company, with a healing tune ♪.

Enjoying the view,

In that moment, I wish to look back,

How I was once a part of this beautiful view,

I want to recall the good memories,

I want to be happy for myself, for becoming what I wished for,

I want to be proud of myself ,for holding on and not giving up,

I want to feel satisfied with my life,

I want to feel like I haven't sacrificed or compromised for anyone or anything,

I want to feel like I'm about to step into another realm, and I'm ready for it...

I want to feel like I have no regrets in the way I've lived my own life, entirely mine.

I wish,

I hope this will happen in the future, if I have the chance,

If I see another door leading to another realm, and it welcomes me warmly,

At that moment, I want to approach the door with curiosity and a big, smiling face,

Hey, I'm ready already... shall we?"
