The box was wrapped in golden foil
and tied with a big red bow
I was excited when I opened it
the contents I did not know
It was filled with high hopes
and many wishes
the answer to my dreams
I put the hopes in my mind
the wishes I set aside
I folded the golden foil paper
The big red bow, I left it tied
Time has moved on since
I received the box
some of my dreams came true
I now have little hope in my mind
and my wishes have diminished to few
I put the wishes in the empty box
along with the folded golden foil
I destroyed the big red ribbon
for time had made it soil
The box I put upon the shelf
with wishes still in tact
Someday when my dreams return
my hopes will then come back
