Poem for Valeriya

I see you peering, looking within

At the walls cold and yet smooth

Covered with organic pasty skin

*

Its solid lines and strength a sin

But you are draw to its power

To hold your heart deep within

*

You want to be free of its grasp

But every day you need its help

As you boldly take on life’s task

*

Without it a present can’t endure

And to send a gift of love

Its safe arrival you would be unsure

*

It takes all that we as humans can give

As it travels a dangerous journey

To ensure at times others may live

*

Next time you hide behind your locks

Take a moment and dare to dream

About life without the humble Box!
