One morning,

Three days before my tenth birthday

I sneaked into my parents' bedroom.

I found a little box

With a brand new necklace inside.

I held it gently and couldn't help

But be in awe at the beauty of it.

I was so happy, I thought it was mine.


On my birthday I received gifts after gifts

But the little box never came.

And birthdays after birthdays

The little box still wouldn't come.
