Lunch box flowers. Life
At times it does seem like sacrifice with out success.
At times it does seem like failure without fulfillment.
But more often than not, it is like flowers in the lunch box.
You carry your meal in an old battered tin box,
Then when you finally get to lunchtime,
You open it up to discover that someone has
Tucked flowers in the midst of your food.

This poem is one of my favorites. It talks about discouragement. We all feel it at times. We think that we have failed or at least not succeeded in the way we had intended. The lunch box is a metaphor for life. The meal is what our life consists of. We carry our old life around in a tin box...or that is how it sometimes seems. And then when it comes time to look in our lunch box to see what is in there, someone has made it special. Someone put in a flower, or a note, or an extra piece of candy to brighten our day. People are like that. They put things into our life just to help and to surprise us. And it most always works. skp
