The Story in the Box

Who knew?

That such a great gift--

A great story--

Could be told through letters

                                         through pictures

                                                         through stories?


Who knew?

That life could be given--

Could be shared--

Could be saved in a box

                                     in a container
                                   
                                               in a treasure chest?


Who knew?

That questions gone unanswered--

Gone unasked--

For a lifetime, could be answered so quickly

                                                    could discover so many more

                                                                    could unearth so much emotion?


Who knew?

That a mother's gift to another--

A baby--

Could grow up to be so loved

                                       so cared for

                                                SO HAPPY?
