the box
woven together and hinged at the top
filled by memories and crazy little thoughts
presented with a timid smile...
to the one for which it was made.
passing on the memories,
handing it over that day.
a smile now seen
the gift was a hit
a gentle hug...
a delicate kiss.
a tree made this possible.
with its life this was made
and in its spot
the happiness will start.
from the mind it was thought
and from the heart it arose.
from the hands it took shape
and with time it will grow old.
the notes will continue to arrive
with one coming each day
filling the box slowly...
as the memories tick away
protection is given,
when you tightly close the lid
protecting the memories
saving what is held within.
