The Same Box
by Don Lewis

As the mail man stopped by today
He came to the door in his usual way
He told me that he had there for me
A package labeled special delivery

I stood in awe as he handed to me
A box marked handle carefully
As I looked it over I could not see
The name of the return addressee

So I placed it down on the table to find
The tape sealing it had began to unwind
As I looked in wonder I pulled at it
And the box I than spread open a bit

To my surprise an empty box sat there
Bewildered I sat down in my chair
There was no paper packing nor styro-foam
The inside just read I want to come home

Then I realized this empty box had been
One of many that I had sent to him
Filled with news of home for him to read
And with other things I thought he’d need

I sat there wondering what now to do
Asking “son now what could I send you”
Then as I thought I picked up my pen
And on the inside of that box I then began

To tell him how this empty box represents
The emptiness of life and how it is spent
How I want him home too and soon he will be
Signed, your father, who misses you desperately
