Perfect Boxes
by Cryssa C → (All Poetry by Cryssa C)
   Rated "G" by the Author.

To remind me to always look deeper...

She set her boxes in a row
and organized them…
Just so 

Frequently, she dusted them,
admiring their beauty
on show. 

            Too bad those boxes were her children
            and that she never looked inside.
            For if she had… 

She would have discovered
priceless riches
untold…

Paying too much attention to the wrapping and not enough to the beauty inside. Sad and moving write, Cryssa. Hugs, Elizabeth

Sometimes it seems as if society at large views children as if they are only pets to be showed off, but you have reminded us all that children are all unique persons in the process of developing into mature humans, who have great value at each stage of growth. And you have said it in such.... a beautiful way Cryssa. Thankyou! :)

There is a lovely metaphor here. The messages really speaks to me,
about my past as a daughter, my present as a mother. Some lessons in life are learned through lots of pain. But in the end, by appreciating the content of my little box/daughter :) I can also appreciate the box I used to be.

How lovely you write this, how sad the theme....yet so true far too often it seems. These perfect boxes are written in a lyrical way when read in my mind... :-) thank you. lindalaw
