                     ❄ Before I Leave (2)❄

     

Before I Leave This Age 14,

I Must Have Learnt From My Preteen,

The Morals Of The Stories Told In Between,

Also With The Bible And Quran's Teachings To Be Clean,

Before I Leave This Age 20,

Confidence In Me Should Be Plenty,

No Falling For Wrong Peer Pressure To Have Me Empty,

I Should Have Discovered Many Potentials Like Twenty,

Before I Leave This Age 25,

I Should Know Who I Am Then Come Alive,

Responsible For My Actions And How I Thrive,

Make Family Confident That Anywhere I Go I'll Survive,

Before I Leave This Age 33,

I Should Have Explored And Now Be Quite Free,

Even Jesus Christ Said It's Done At This Age When Nailed On A Tree,

Family Made Should Enjoy A Special Gentry,

Before I Leave This Age 40,

Wisdom In Me Should Even Bless Some Fools At Forty,

My Soul Mate Is With Whom I Should Get Naughty,

Staying Healthy And Fit With Family That's All Looking Sporty,

Before I Leave This Age 50,

I Would Have Constantly Forgot My Age Is Fifty,

My Kids Are Sweet And The Cake Baked Is Hefty,

Leave My Little Daughter To Be Smart As She Sketches Us With Her Lefty,

Before I Leave This Age 60,

I Must Have Known Much About Life's Mysteries,

I Should Be Modern Still And Not Just Bore You With Only Histories,

Would Have Admirers Asking For Selfies With My Lover When Getting Groceries,

Before I Leave This Age 70,

I'd Know I Shall Be Greater In God's Eyes At Eighty,

In My Eighties I'll Cross Legs On A Jet Plane For Another Speech To Be Delivered In Haiti,

Needed All Around Continents That's Hot And Cold And I Hate Tea,

Before I Leave This Age 90,

Wait A Minute! 90 Was So Slow

To Get To 100 Plus,

At 100 Plus I Must Have Seen Angels Giving Me A Round Of Applause,

To Have Worshipped Only One God In The Name Of The Man Nailed On The Cross,

By Now I Should Be Fulfilled And Ready To Go Meet My Jesus.
