It lay there, a simple box wrapped
in fancy paper and tied with a big bow. The card on top said, “For
you.”
Lots of people came by and looked at it. A few even opened it up and peeked in, but most of them simply
closed the lid quickly and walked away, embarrassed to have been caught looking.
Only one person lifted the lid up, lay it on the table
next to the box and, smiling, allowed what was inside to come out.
To this day there are people who will swear the box was
empty and others who only blush when asked what they saw.
But I am eternally grateful to the one who set me free.
