The Gift Wrapping
A foot large package mailed
From a dear friend to me
For my birthday on October.
I observe and deal with:
Why this freaky gift-wrapped
In the local newspaper?
The small card inside:
“Happy Birthday!”
And a well-known signature.
Wow! I’m totally screw up.
Misinterpreted!
Misconceived!
The outside of an object,
The beauty of packaging,
The clothing of people.
Why shouldn’t I focus
On the true value
Hidden in people’s heart?
