A box can be a wondrous thing
Bringing simple joy
Wrapped up in ribbons and bows
Show of respect and love

A box can be an interesting thing
Sparking the imagination
One can use it to travel
To the far reaches of time and space

A box can be a hazardous thing
Hiding emotions or
Secrets deep inside
Not able to open


One needs to change
The last box to one of
The others to ever
Have a full, honest life
