Trying to Win A Scholarship!


One thing I can’t live without Of course would have to be ME, I can name many items, philosophies and people But at the end of the day, it can’t be. I am all I will ever need Resourceful, clever and fearless, No task can be so great that I cannot Use my brain to accomplish. Of course I would need tools For this, God gave me these little hands, And I would learn to survive on wit To determine, then activate my plans. Weapons and traps I could create In order that I may eat, Tools I would invent to help Clothe my body and feet. Lodging and a place for cover I’d have to make myself a “home”, I would figure out how to keep it secure To keep my both safe and warm. My faith would bring me comfort When I feel weak or long for home, For my God is within myself And I will never be alone. My memories will keep my loved ones Within grasp, within my dreams, The love I’ll feel from afar Will make things better than they seem. So what do I need to be deserted I say I only need me, I think I’ve watched enough National Geographic To figure out what all I’d need!
