On my 50th birthday my Mum gave me a small box with a ribbon on it and a card that read as follows-
“This is a very special gift,
That you can never see.
The reason it’s so special is,
It’s just for you from me.
Whenever you are happy,
Or even feeling blue,
You only have to hold this gift
And know I think of you.
You never can unwrap it,
Please leave the ribbon tied,
Just hold the box close to your heart,
It’s filled with love inside.”
I didn’t really appreciate the box until after my Mum passed away…now it is the most precious thing I have from her.
