The Drawer of a Decent Man

One sweater to help keep you warm and cozy at all times 
One diary to keep notes of all your dreams and longings
One handkerchief to dry your eyes whenever you cry 
A hand held recorder so he can remember all you say to him 
A poem called The Drawer of a Decent Soul that he practices
One book from the chicken soup of the soul series at least
One bottle of glue to patch us together so we never part

thanks it is supposed to be the mans drawer to his soul...I kept the bible out of it for ONE REASON ONLY, I think my readers know I am big believer, some men are just not awake yet to God, so in other words that does not mean they are not decent, God might not have poked them yet..so I kept the bible out of both for that reason, Gods timing...
