3 Things I Take With

Gifted with 3 things on a deserted Island what do I bring . Having clothes on, a smart phone wet not smart at all For you have hope in store when you can not make a call .. ~ A sharpest of knives that starts fire Ugg boots Australian built resilient A pot to boil water pure from the salt ~ This being a hard choice for it's these I desire ~ Belgium chocolate, coffee with evaporated milk Tea & sugar to last a decade , paper , pen A goose down blanket under stars ,warming like silk my favorite books , The four agreements A working I pod, guitar, for music is my muse .. A Bible to read so I can keep my faith higher ~ After becoming one with all nature I call this my own Now bring me a prozac and a cell phone " A special forces man ...oh no , temptation, I may not come home ! " Yet being true to self , and my soul unfolds.. ~ For I love and miss my children , what is life without them to hold ~ "written for Shadows contest on 10-8-13"
