Within This Well Worn Box

Within This Well Worn Box

My life in an old tattered cardboard box
Bound by fraying yellowed string
The exterior weathered by the years
Not an area from top to bottom that hasn't been stressed in every way 
You would think that it would have fallen apart
An aging box thats traveled far and wide
It's been marked upon each and every side
Every corner somewhat torn
Each crease well leathered and worn
However as we all know
Its not the abuse that the box endures
It matters not what it looks like on the outside
It's what lies deep on the inside 
My box was constructed 
To hold but one valued treasure
And only one person has truly reached all the way within
To experience all my love
As I had but one gift to give
She accepted the contents of my greatest possession 
She will own my heart forever

It is often said that home is where the heart is; thus it matters little the number of ménages one may lay claim to-the heart is truly the final resting place. Well said.

Poetry is what is lost in translation.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
