Lunchbox

I was surprised it felt heavier Uneasiness too pinched me Haven’t carried a weightier ever What could fill a family! Did I see a red heart there Did I see a silver line Did I carry the weight of care Sealed with the hands of valentine! It was heavier but I felt so light And free as my dreams set free Scaled the hillocks reached mountain height When remembered what she heard from me! There’s no time I must haste A load of work at office knocks Would come home late it would be best If you forget for today the lunchbox! Now I’m smiling as I eat the meal More than daily quota manifold The lunchbox lends me the much needed fill Sealed with a heart of gold!
