My pen pal sent me a present in the mail.
I received a large brown box from my pen pal today.
Sent me a musical instrument. It was so unexpected, so welcomed.
I'm thrilled and touched.
Who am I to deserve such a gift, a prize?
Thought put into action where thought could of stood alone.
A smile, a small girlish giggle escaped my lips as I lifted the treasure from the box.
Sytrofoam peanuts tumbling all over me, my car.
And I not a care in the world.
For a minute I was transported into the body of the father in the movie A Christmas Story - such surprise and joy from one inanimate object. My very own Red Rider Leg Lamp!
My pen pal sent me a present today. I wish to him a gift back; for him to sense, to feel, to know that he has sent me oh so much more -
