The present that is you

In your lap a parcel

Wrapped in words and images

of yesterday

How will you unwrap it,

nervously, tentatively?

In your lap a parcel

wrapped in colours and picture

of childhood

How will you unwrap it,

quickly, fearfully?

In your lap a parcel

wrapped in sunlight and gold,

how will you unwrap the

present that is you,

happily, excitedly?
