'Everything You've Ever Lost'
I heard a ring on my doorbell today.
I answered it without a delay.
I opened it up just part of the way.
Then quickly peeked out, expecting to say.
Hey!
I soon realized that no one was there.
I was just talking into pure thin air.
I noticed a box that was shiny and square.
From where it came, I was not aware.
Beware!
I lifted it up, and the address was me.
I untied the bow with no guarantee.
I opened the lid, and what did I see?
Things that I lost, this sure could not be.
Glee!
I searched all around inside of the box.
I found all these pairs of unmatching socks.
I dug out a bag of childhood blocks.
Even a key, not sure what it locks.
Unlocks!
I looked all around for that one special thing.
I knew if I found it, a song I would sing.
I know when I'll see it because of the bling.
Please let me find my grandmother's ring.
Shining!
I hunted and hunted, then hunted some more.
I had a great feeling I could not ignore.
I knew I was close to what I looked for.
Inside of the box left at my front door.
Score!
