This poem was written by my Great Niece Kitty Cotton aged 12 years. <br /> <br /> <br />If there is nothing in an empty box, <br />what do you do? <br />You use an amazing thing called <br />imagination. <br /> <br />In a corner of the empty box was, <br />A long lasting friendship. <br />A pattern with no end. <br />A light that will never go out. <br /> <br />In a corner of the empty box was, <br />A devil, red as blood. <br />An ongoing argument. <br />A heart with no love. <br /> <br />In a corner of the empty box was, <br />A charming prince waiting for his love. <br />A shimmering diamond, with an everlasting twinkle. <br />A sea with dancing waters. <br /> <br />As there are only four corners of a box, <br />this is the last one, and in that corner there was, <br />A patch of growing love. <br />A mind with no thoughts. <br />A bottle with a secret message inside. <br /> <br />There is always a middle of an empty box, <br />and in the middle there was, <br />a smaller box. <br />Which held every thought anyone could think. <br /> <br /> <br />© Kitty Cotton <br /> <br /> <br />(Ernestine Northover)<br /><br />Ernestine Northover<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-an-empty-box-2/
