in a dark corner
a box waits
collecting dust
like there’s no tomorrow
but what is inside
is a mystery
leaving many to wonder
about the person
on the outside too

in the dark corner
the box still sits
collecting dust
and other things
unknown to the outside world
because not many people
want to take the chance
and get close enough
to peak through
the holes in the corners
where sweetness shines through
allowing the contents
of the box to grow
but there are a few
who have seen the inside
of this box and the smiles,
the happiness, the love
this box has to offer

in a dark corner
a box sits alone
only a few visitors
have seen it’s greatness
