Need For Survival


If I was ever stuck on an island,

with nothing but water on all sides

the main thing I would need for myself,

is courage to help me survive.

 

The courage to explore the island,

to find food and further discover.

The courage to build tools,

and perhaps build a house for cover.

 

I don't know when I can leave this island,

but I will struggle to be well and stay alive.

Until that day I'll be courageous,

the key for me to survive.
