Your Sunshine Box

You named me your Sunshine
And gave me a sunshine box
And my face is all aglow
For I fill my five senses of sight,smell
taste, touch and sound
And I unpack each one nice and slow.

Out comes a picture of me and you
In a cottage on a hill which we have still
The most beautiful times we shared
Many summers ago, of memories forever
I see you now beckoning me from the door.

 Out comes a scented candle of Jasmine
The smell surrounds me as you glow
I can feel it light up my heart 
the smell now washes over me 
making me go with the flow.

Out comes a tin of Caramels
Our favourite of the lot
I immediately pop one into my mouth
Waiting for it to explode once more
And don’t care if it goes to my waist anymore.

Out comes my yellow coat on which I dote
We would snuggle under it 
so soft to the touch 
I miss you so much
I wear it to feel your hug once more

Our comes my favourite songs on a C.D
You made me many moons ago
I hear you now as if your there
My heart receiving warm signals 
As I sing along with you once more.

I Thank you so much for my sunshine box
For it was a gift from you
I lock it up now and keep it close
Right here next to me
The sun now slanting in through the window.
