A Magical Box (Haiku)
Everyone wonders what is in it
But we will never know
A Jacket (Free Verse)
To you it’s something you wear when it’s cold
But me it’s composed of blue corduroy and corn gold
To you we might be rednecks, hillbillies, and hicks
But in reality we are just normal people living to serve
If the jacket could talk it would have many stories to tell
It’s always got your back
with over 610,240 just the same as mine
It instills the things that I lack
Such as the ability to not cower
When speaking in front of crowds
You can go from being shy to being loud
It helps you to take up a leadership role
You get to live a life of service for people in need
You get to make your own path and open the newly discovered doors
You take opportunities that otherwise might be ignored
You do to learn and learn to do
To wear the jacket is now up to you
