Yesterday is history<br /> Tomorrow is a mystery<br /> Today is a gift<br /> That&#039;s why its called the present


Blue grass
green sky
a tree that stretches ten miles high
will all go in my box.

Sunburn in the winter
snow when it's warm
a calm ocean in the middle of a storm
will all go in my box.


A squeaking cat
a hissing mouse
lights winds that blow the roof off a house
will all go in my box.

My box is a place
for objects like me
who refuse to fit in
who choose to be free.
