Bop introduction - a Poem for dVerse Bop MTB


   
My Small Box 

My little small box 
Came crackers inside 
Ate all the crackers 
Over six months 
Breakfast lunch or sup 
Kitchen on one wall 

I found a box and put a room inside 

In soup or a snack  
Parties and our meals 
Graduation kids 
Loved those brown sweeties 
Cornered caps and gowns 
Poems they'd learned 
Sweated and written 
Porches 'nother wall 

I found a box and put a room inside 

Guests had left their marks 
Floor scattered around 
Erasers not found 
Classes dropped before 
Was no sweeping floor 
Walls memories swabbed 

I found a box and put a room inside 
 _ _ _ 

Adi and my ashes will be buried together in a miniature casket 'box', large enough for two urns.  Adi and I were a Pet Partner pair, a certified Pet Therapy Team.  I still miss her.
