The most precious items

To survive

Are actually not items at all.

No cell phone, skinny jeans,

Lip gloss or car.

Materialistic objects come and go.

The Word is all I need

To survive

It strengthens my mind,

My heart and soul

I take it with me,

Everywhere.

Think I can’t live without it?

A tragedy, a blessing,

In good times and bad

The Word is all I need.
