Thank you very much for my birthday present
I hope you don't mind
But I am not going open it

Instead
It will sit on the shelf
In my bedroom
And every day for the rest of my life
My imagination will peer inside it
And turn it into something new
So it could be...

A ticket for the next football World Cup Final

A magic potion to turn me into an invisible wizard

The answers to all the homework questions in the whole universe

A real unhatched brontosaurus egg

Two hundred swimming seahorses

An endless supply of hugs, love and laughter

Already
It's the best birthday present I've ever had
