Inside the Box

What was inside the box? I pondered what it was So many tissues paper Is piled in the box I begin my task Removing slowly The tissues inside One by one piled Onto the carpet It was endless task As the tissues piled Onto the carpet Inside more tissues It seemed so endless Yet I removed more The pile growing I wondered when it ends I continue the task Removing the tissues The mist is faded I can see inside The mist is fading I stare for hours A shape I now can see I reach for the box Glancing at the box It was sealed with tape Taking the tape off I opened the box A Sheet of paper I began to read From a love one

Hi Darlene, loved the continuation of the box. A letter from a loved one, what more could you ask for. Now I will not ask the next question that comes for you know what that would be and it is just me being nosey. Okay, I'll ask the question, "What was in the letter?" Loved the write, Darlene. Have a wonderful evening. Hugs always ..... Mike. xx
