The Box Of Special Things
All is well
With you
My dear
Come sit
And smile
And linger here
This box
Of calming
Delightful objects
Will make you
Think of
Happy subjects
Lift the lid
What could
Be there?
An expensive
Perfume
Origami squares
A tome of
Lovely words
That rhyme
Some beads
To pray with
If so inclined
A book
Of really
Corny jokes
A picture
Of best
Beloved folk
Some special
Tea bags
Beautifully packeted
A cute little bear
All dressed up
And jacketed
Nice pencils
With quality paper
To draw on
A box with
An ornate
Little mouth organ
A rhythm
To be made
On a little drum
A sheet with notes
For a song
To be sung
A favourite
Wooden
Jigsaw puzzle
A soft
And cuddly
Blanket to nuzzle
A writing book
With pen
And pencil
A palette
With paint,
Brush and stencil
A box
Of magic
Playing cards
Wool to knit
Ballad up
In yards
Soft coloured balls
For your hands
To squeeze
A lovely
Painted fan
For breeze
A disc
That holds
A lovely voice
With candies
Of your own choice
If make up
And glamour
Is your thing
Then a mirror
With lipstick
Nail varnish and bling
One
Or some
Or all of these
Or other things
It's what
You please
Whatever
Your age
Status or gender
It's your box
You have
The tender
In this moment
Now.
Here.
