Guest guest Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 and I Pandora had a box filled with everything a child could ever hope for I'd open this beautiful golden and silver box and pretend everything I wanted was inside, I'd play day after day with an empty box, pretending to remove and replace the emptiness with something I wanted just for that day. and so I came to the age where children no longer play with emptiness and nothingness and all I had left was hope.
