I wrote this one last Mother's Day and made an origami box to go with it.
This is my box made for wishing It's powers are known far and wide Go to bed, close your eyes, and with the sunrise You'll find that your hopes are inside . . . You see that right now it is empty Or so I am sure it must seem But the cause for that, as a matter of fact Is that none of my hopes can be seen . . . I hoped for a friend I could trust With all of my secrets and fears Who stood right beside, soothed me when I cried And wiped away all of my tears . . . I hoped for someone I could turn to When good times were all I could see The laughs we would share, the danger we'd dare Our joy growing endlessly . . . I had hoped for someone who's perfect And though you might say that I lie My hopes all came true, I swear it to you And You are the reason why . . . Yes, you see that my box is now empty But that's because you are alive I wished for you and my wish came true Happy Mothers Day, mother-of-mine
