It feels like a book
you say confidently 
weighing the present in your hands
and when you unwrap 
down the seam of the sticky tape
there’s joy in your face 
reflected 
in the framed photo staring back
you take pause 
smiling in          memory 
and you pick up the next gift
obviously a Toblerone.

Thanks for taking the time to read my poem. I hope you enjoyed it.

Do you try to guess what’s under the paper?

Let me know in the comments.

Take It Easy,
