As I pack up my belongings to make way for the construction workers, I reflect on all the other times I’ve moved. At the midway point of getting things boxed and stowed, I believe this is a feeling to which anyone who has ever moved can relate.

Stack of packing boxes
Filling, supply growing smaller
Stuff to pack, growing taller.

My knees are sore,
My back is bent
My energy
Done gone and went.

Stuff to pack,
Growing taller.
Stack of packing boxes,
Growing smaller.

Storage space almost gone
Will there be enough
To hold it all?
This stack of stuff
Is just TOO tall!
