The Emigrant's Suitcase
by Amanda Murniece, 2nd Year
On a beautiful summer morning
I picked up my brown tattered suitcase
I took one last glance and walked out the door
I said goodbye to my past and hello to my future
My suitcase is tattered and old nearly like Einstein
It has been passed on from great grandparents to me
As I got to the ship I took the very last glance
I felt sad and sea sick as I got on the boat
Oh I forgot to tell you ‘my name is Alexandra’
You probably wonder why G.T. is on the case?
Well that stands for George Tobin
Yes, that’s right, I named my suitcase George
I bring him everywhere with me
It’s the only valuable thing left from my family
But the best thing about George is
He keeps my deepest secrets.
