Little wooden boxes: Rocked by mama's shoe: Early in our memory, The finest love we knew
Little velvet boxes Diamonds set in gold; Promises and sweetness so much yet to hold.
Rows of wooden boxes on the flat dirt grade; Flower-boxed the windows Where our children played.
Glossy veneer boxes Typewriters and phones Never have so many Felt so all alone.
Little wooden flattop Fingers search the past Strum to hide the longing Going home at last
Little wooden boxes Where the crosses grew Pretty flowers see me Underneath God's shoe.

I remember, when I was young, a cardboard box filled with marsh mellows, that was a prize/ an incredible gift I dutifully consumed. I somehow don't like them any more.
but I like your poem.
Thanks!
