I went out to my
mailbox,
And found a
package there...
The sprawled
handwriting said it all,
'Please handle
this with care.'
It came from
someone that I know,
A friend I truly
love...
The wrapping was
so pretty,
With picture of
a dove.
But when the box
was opened,
I thought it was
a joke...
For all I found
beneath the lid,
Was just a
simple note.
Each word that
you had written,
Filled box to
overflowing...
Those spoke
of feelings, thoughts we've shared,
A friendship
that keeps growing.
Words to console
me when I'm down,
Caught up
in throes of grief...
Other
words that bring much joy,
Like breeze will dance with
leaf.
So much magic
was in that box,
In each
word written neat...
I felt the box
fill to the brim,
With your
message unique.
Until at last
the empty box,
Had simply
ceased to be...
Filled now
instead with care and love,
You chose
to send to me.
