Did you know that life’s a suitcase
In which we journey through this maze?
You put the things you feel you’ll need
As you trundle along at your own speed
Good portion of love
Inside your trove
Helpings of smiles
Will go a mile
Family and friends can come along
They are always there to keep us strong
A dash of life skills is worthwhile too
A pinch of resilience without much ado
Good thoughts, positive vibes are simply a must
With good faith and in God we trust
Sometimes some run out of space
They end up with a bursting suitcase
Sometimes we over anticipate
And end up paying for excess luggage
Though life may have it’s bumpy trails
But if we pack with some essential stuff
We would enjoy it as we set sweet sail
That my friend would be good enough.

a cooking pot and twisted tales 
And to think, we put a man on the moon before anyone figured out that wheels on suitcases might be a good idea.

Wow. Just wonderful. I love the suitcase analogy. After packing my “suitcase” heavy for a good part of my 20’s, I have embraced and seek to pack my “suitcase” light in my 30’s and on wards.
