(A collaboration poem with Catrina Heart) <br /> <br />What to carry to a cross country? <br />A wallet with cash, credits cards, <br />ATM’s to pay for your expenses….. <br /> <br />What to bring to an outing? <br />Food to eat and water to drink <br />to fill in our body needs….. <br /> <br />What to take to a meeting? <br />Some papers and pen <br />to take note of the events….. <br /> <br />Except for clothes, make up kit, <br />Phone, shoes and camera to pick, <br />What else do we need for our trip? <br /> <br />Isn’t it a book for us to read? <br />To enjoy, to learn beyond the words <br />To the fullest, and be filled to the brim <br /> <br />To nourish our mind, body and soul <br />And be our company along the way <br />It may be sad, lonely and happy <br /> <br />Carry a book, like carrying a friend <br />Sleep on it like a soft pillow in the early morn <br />Live by its words, read and love it like your own <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Note: thank you, Catrina <br /> A privilege to mix ink with you.<br /><br />Meggie Gultiano<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-to-bring/
