Cardboard Box
Cardboard box
dormant and faded
tell me my life
forgotten and jaded
If God peeked in
would the Almighty sigh
he took my mom today
she taped your tattered side
Report cards, pictures
even a lock of blonde hair
grandma don't tell grandpa
I'm crying in his favorite chair
Why must we lose someone
to truly reminisce
was I really this happy once
him too I miss
Cardboard box
dormant and faded
tell me my life
forgotten and jaded
