AN: Hi, gang! I have a new one-shot for you, in Poem style. This was inspred by a story called "Another Check Mark On The List". It's a poem about Cindy making a "Things To Do Before I Die" list...I hope you like it. Please reveiw!
Reveiwers:
Magic15: Thanks!
Mysticofthepen: Wow, that's a large, and probably undeserved, compliment….thank you so much! I'm flattered.
JCfan519: Okay, I will, lol!
acosta prez jos Ramiro: As usual, your perceptiveness astounds me! Actually, I tried to write the chapter in such a way so the reader could interpret the apology as he/she wants. I'm glad it worked!
Cutie5; kingdom219: …Actually, I'll consider it. But for the moment, I have a lot on my plate to finish first. If you liked the style of that one, I suggest you take a look at my other fic, "Dying Is An Art". I'm always hungry for reviews, and I'm particularly proud of that one, lol!
Retroville9: Yeah, I'm always a sucker for the angst- type fic…sorry!
Snowboarder9: I'm sorry! The basic idea was that Cindy was in the hospital, in a coma. Jimmy walks in, and the nurse and him talk for a moment, but he is distracted b his thoughts, which are the italicized parts. It's kind of random, but I think it worked out okay.
Follower of The Antichrist: (Please see above favorable reviews)

My List
-
I've faced madness
Too many times:
Seen evil men
Commit evil crimes
-
I've heard world
Domination plans
Against alien forces,
Taken my stand
-
Good times, bad times:
I've laughed and cried
But there's still so much
To do before I die
-
So I thought
I'd make a list
And do my best
To comply with it
-
All the things
I vow to do
Before my time
On Earth is through:
-
I want to see
The river Nile
I want to make
A sick kid smile
-
I promise I will
Hang-glide someday
(And still live
To walk away!)
-
I want to read
All Shakespeare's works
I want to learn
To converse with Turks
-
I swear that I
Will play violin,
And with whales,
I know I'll swim
-
I will water ski,
It's true,
Do what only
Too few do
-
I will ride
On a camel's back
Fly a plane,
And that's a fact
-
I will see
Niagara falls,
Go see Rome's
Ancient walls
-
I want to teach
Someone a skill
Eat caviar
Until I've had my fill
-
I will read
The Bible through
I will see
A foreign zoo
-
I will learn
To walk a tightrope
I will build
A telescope
-
Every state,
I will see,
Of all languages,
I will learn at least 3
-
I sat back
Looked at my list
And realized it was
Missing this:
-
One last thing
I must do
Before my time
On Earth is through:
-
I will cast
My fear away
Vow not to waste
Another day,
-
I will leave
My comfort zone,
March right up
To his home
-
I will knock
Upon his door
Hear his footsteps
On the floor
-
And when he answers,
I'll meet his eyes
And hope he won't be
Too surprised
-
To see me standing
Heart open wide
I will open my mouth
And ditch my pride
-
I will say
What I never did:
The feelings I felt
Since I was a kid
-
I don't know
What will occur
When I finally
Say the words
-
But I've held them in
For too long:
For good or bad,
I love you, Neutron
-
My list is complete
Now, at last
What is future
Will soon be past
-
And when I get
To the end of my list,
Finally reaching
My final wish,
-
I've promised myself
I won't delay,
Whenever comes
That fateful day
-
Just what I said,
I will do,
I only pray
He'll love me too.
-
