As if to climb mountains in the real world,
lift weights until I am the strongest man,
life offers these ridiculous options,
I want to live each day to the fullest,
even sorrow has its heights of despair,
venture to swim the Amazon River,
ever present and aware of danger,
rewards come from the act, from bravery,
wishful thinking to push the envelope,
as astronauts venture into deep space,
nothing ventured, nothing gained, to achieve
the goal of breaking world records, to run
even faster than the next guy, to stand
delighted and proud on the podium,
lift the veil, to see beyond illusions,
invent the wheel, the axle and the cart,
venture into deep space, never return,
even if it were possible to live
like everyday were my last, the fullest
in life, overflowing with joy and love,
fullness beyond my imagination,
even if it were possible to climb
to the summit of every mountain, plant
on top of every peak a field of blue,
in each instance to recognize the needs
that other people have and to offer
service like no other, with compassion,
frankly, I can't believe it's possible,
under the circumstances, rise above,
lift myself above the clouds of despair,
lift the whole world in my hands
to new heights,
even if it were possible, to make
science solve the problems of world crises,
to save humanity from climate change...

Acrostic: All I ever wanted : live life to its fullest
