Seven Pieces of Me

My keys are my ticket to independence,
My phone is contact to everyone I need,
My identity proof is necessary for recovery,
My PCs are my words that I have written,
making me more than I am and more than I’ll be,
My coat will keep me warm throughout the nights,
My photoframe has all my memories of people,
still, and unchanged, yet they all kissed me alive,
My day bag contains my camera and my tie 
to artistry and my binoculars. There’s so little
of me that is more than proof of my existence,
most will survive the fire, most will be loved
throughout time, but cash better be inside.

You chose some good priorities you'd save if there were a fir, Sheri. Phone, keys, ID, and PC are important to have after a disaster. Cute ending with "cash better be inside." Best wishes in the contest, Sheri! Hugs, Carolyn
