Message In A Bottle Poem by Ulysses Cabinatan

I wish I can roll a million dollar check
put it inside the bottle
and make a millionaire
to the lucky one who can get it
Or a last will and testament
that gives authority to the one
who discover it.

but cannot give the two
but these words
a message so simple
a gem of gold in the mine of thoughts

and upon reading this
just roll the paper back
put it inside the bottle again
put back the rubber cap
and throw it again in the ocean
this can be as magical as the magic lamp:


To desire peace,
to accept others as they are,
to rejoice in the happiness of others,
to speak 'well',
not to be discouraged in trials,
to live in a life of love,
and always remember,
a good life freshens the soul and mind.
