A Box Of Opportunities
A box in an attic, sat all alone
Calling the dust bunnies that surrounded it home.
It waited in patience, sitting humbly
And suddenly children ran up in glee
They clambered up the staircase, tripping as they would,
Till they reached a corner of the attic where the little box stood.
Sparkles and glitter glistened quite bright
And the children’s eyes, widened at the sight.
For they were amazed, for they understood
If they had not found it, then who else would?
So they glanced at each other, and fought for a look,
At the wonderful form, the magic had took
When they opened the flaps
They were excited to see
A sweet little charm, containing a tree.
The girl that was closest shoved her one sister Brooke
Out of the way and slipped the charm on a hook.
The hook of a necklace, the charm long gone ,
And when the glass touched her skin her head filled with song.
The song spoke of demons, beasties and more,
But the brave little girl wasn’t afraid anymore
As the song spun in her mind, it got louder and louder
Filling this girl, with the feeling of power
The light in the attic disappeared with a pop
And the child started to float, as Brooke watched in shock
Her sister could fly, her sister flew high
Wondering whether or not to wave her sister goodbye
Would she fly through the night looking down on their house?
Or would she share this power
With her only sister
Who couldn’t hurt a mouse?
And a question stuck her, as she hit the roof made of wood...
Would she use her powers, for bad or for good?
