Before I Die Poem by Bakare Oluwagbenga Michael

Before I die,
I want to live life;
Not to the fullness;
But to th fulfilment of it.
-
Before I die,
I want to start a family
With whom I can call my own
And find my solace.
-
Before I die,
I want to have kids;
Just as my parents have me;
To be the channel of joy.
-
Before I die,
I want to offer my name
For the nation to call upon
In faith to seek God.
-
Before I die,
I want to make a world
Where love is shared
And war is barred.
-
Before I die,
I want to take a break
To tour the world
And explore its goodness.
-
Before I die,
I want to have my grand-kids
Surround me like an island
Hearing me tell tales of the past.
-
Before I die,
I want to win souls
For the Lord who'll make this possible
And accept me into His fold at the end.
-
All these I want to do,
Before I die...
