A Box of Jacks A box of fun, popcorn and nuts, a prize, all to be shared. A simple pleasure, a memory, an event, to be treasured, not measured but looked back upon when we are long passed the point of childhood altogether, and are desperate to be more child-like, than adult. Embracing the magic of life, takes turns at every age, like skipping rocks on water, and whispers in the dark, from a lark, a happy bird. Life is so short, time is so fleeting, the meeting of the two a heartbreak, at daybreak, unless embraced beyond forever into eternity, in service to Our Lord. Just a box of popcorn, a whole world experienced in a single moment, that changes everything to come thereafter, here, there, and ever... after.
