I am stuck on a deserted island,

From my deep slumber I wake,

I see off to the distance, but I see no land.

I start to move out at daybreak,

And I stare down at the necklace around my neck,

I stare at the pendants and begin to ache.

For each pendant I hold and check,

​When all are accounted for I am filled with glee,

I then continue along my trek.

Each pendant stands for friends and family,

And each one represents a piece of my heart,

A cross, a rose, two hands, and a skeleton key.

Even though we are far apart,

They give me the strength and courage to conquer any fear,

And they keep me from falling apart.

I can imagine seeing them again and how they cheer,

Just picturing this is enough to bring a tear.
