Christmas Ornaments
The boxes break,
At the corners,
Their sides
Sink weak;
They are tied up
Every year
With the same
Gray string;
But under the split
Lids, a fortune
Shines: Globes
Of gold and sapphire,
Silver spires and
Bells, jeweled
Nightingales with
Pearly tails.
Valerie Worth
This is exactly how unpacking the Christmas tree ornaments was when I was a kid. I even remember the slightly musty smell of the boxes. There is something remarkable about those drab brown cardboard boxes holding such sumptuousness Even now, getting out the decorations has it's magic.How often in our lives do we uncover treasures like we do when preparing for Christmas?
