The wheels on my suitcase rattle

its sides are wounded

The handle has fallen off

its color dimmed and its skin stained

equipped with a zipper that is often stuck

But my suitcase is bursting

full of memories from all over

It has seen nearly every ocean

Nearly every sky

It has met many others

Much different than itself

Its heard many languages

and smelled many smells

its color may have dimmed

But it is full of the colors of the world

My suitcase is exhausted from travel

It is worn and different

but it envy’s none

it keeps going

Looking for the next new memory

the next new hue to add to its collection

It has payed its dues to see this world

And it was all worth it
