The Box

Accumulate strength
Gather my weaknesses
And put them in a box
With you my love

Leave me piece by piece
To collect myself again
For I have been lost from the world to you

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
