Poem Title:
Poem
It showed up at my doorstep I signed for it on the dotted line I brought the box to my kitchen table Wondering what could be inside. I read the card attached on top It said inside a life just for you But first close your eyes and make a wish And watch all your dreams come true I did as i was instructed Then quickly ripped the box open wide And what happened next took my breath away I couldnt believe the contents inside Reach in and grab a dream the voice said This all belongs to you Everything you ever lost in life Is now restored to you. Tomorrow when you wake up A good woman will wake next to you She will love and cherish you forever Shes the special one destined for you. Reach in a little further down And much success for you is set aside There will be children and grandchildren who love you They will speak your name with pride I was enjoying my newly awarded life My smile you couldnt wipe away I danced a waltz in my living room Just feeling so blessed today. Then the voice said theres one condition All you have recieved you must give away What you have been blessed with you must share For your life to change today. So i sat and pondered this predicament To give away all i have recieved Should I take a leap of blind faith today Or am i just being decieved I felt at this point there was nothing to lose, And started calling people i knew with needs I surrendered all i had been given And people were truly happy for all they had recieved Day had passed and the box was silent Not one blessing came my way But then people started being my friends And came to visit me every day A year had passed and the box finally spoke And said see how wonderful your life has changed You have people who value you for who you are Not for things you have attained My life now seems full of contentment I see it through a different set of eyes The real blessings come from how we treat others It has made my heart more alive.
