Three Things To Take

A deserted isle is where I’ll be
	For what will seem an eternity
	These three things will I take
	For ten years to make my fate

	A pot in which to cook my food
	Something I hope to suit my mood
	I’d hunt or fish to catch this fare
	I would not worry or have to share

	A knife to protect myself and home
	As I will be so all alone
	This will come in handy too
	For making things to get me through

	The third item I would choose
	Is something I’d never want to lose
	My bible though it is old and worn
	Has guided me since I was born
