SURPRISE!
What’s in the box?
Is it cupcakes?
A puppy?
Does it come from Tiffany’s?
Is it lined with black velvet,
meant to reflect the light
of your eyes?
Is it macrons, sweet to the lips
and bringing back memories
of surprises past?
Tickets to a concert?
To The US Open?
PARIS?!
What’s in the box?!
Other than my heart…
One reply on “Surprise”
That moment of worry and excitement…that wonder and desire and happiness it instills…that smile of pure joy. That is worth it all.
