Pencil Case

As I sat on my table
I stared at a box;
It had a scarlet scarf on it.
I gently removed the scarf
To find a pretty face-
It's a pencil case.
The case was glamour
with golden lace
surrounding four corners;
with lily leaves at the centre
smiling back at me.
I didn't need a smile, I thought;
It was cold, unanimated.
But as I opened the case
I gave a smile-
Lizzy, I love you.
I'm sorry for the past.
Now make a fresh start
by accepting this gift...
It was a picture we first took.

Note: This gift can be from a friend, a family member or a lover. Sometimes we are too busy for our love one and only can give him a gift which would mean nothing even if it was dear when the person only wants your time.

I've choosen pencil case to be my object because I was thinking about a busy mother and a daughter. Then I thought the gift might have been from a friend. At last I wanted to have something more general. The pencil case was not an ordinary one. I didn't know how an expensive pencil case would look like so I made it up. So what do you think of my poem?

~Blessed are those who find ordinary things extraordinary.

What do I think of this poem? Honey, it's a beautiful joyous poem of acceptance. I followed you along with the entire thing praying for a wonderful ending and I got it!
