She went to the mailbox

Lots of junk mail

A few bills

And a small brown parcel

She went back inside

Tossed the mail aside

Held up the parcel

Recognizing the senders address

It was where she grew up

More than fifty years ago

Not been back there

For many decades

Inside there was a note

We thought you would want this

Recently discovered time capsule

Placed when your house was built

Uncovered during reconstruction

It took a while to locate you

We managed to track you down

And send this to you

Alongside the note

Was an old faded photograph

Of her as a baby

In her parents arms

There was also a key

And a business card

From a city bank

With numbers on the back

She went to the bank

They took her to a vault

Opened a safety deposit box

She looked inside and cried
