Inside
There’s a box
It just arrived
Especially for me
No one saw it arrive.
I wish I knew what was inside
It says ‘Only open if you dare’
I wonder what it could be?
It’s a complete mystery.
The outside gives no clues
The danger lies within
I run my fingers lightly across the top
It’s too late now
I signed for it at the door
It might send me flying into space
I can’t bear it anymore
I carefully untie the bow.
My eyes dare to peek inside
I smile with delight
For it’s something money can’t buy
A key to another world.
Dare I go inside…
