A Big Box

 




“A Big Box”

 

I found a box big enough to fit your hat, shoes and socks!

The items mention from the past,

from my growing up real fast.

When its time to send some more!

I’ll send the presents, as I did before.

Some day my child, when you grow!

 You’ll wake up wondering where’s the snow!

When it starts all over again,

use these words to start. Amen!

Please explicate the last

Please explicate the last three lines for me, as I am sure I am misreading to my own confusion.  Why does the child wonder about snow?  What starts all over again?  And to what are you saying, Amen (as this does not seem like either a prayer or a spiritual experience).  I am obviously muddled, so I would appreciate any assistance with interpretation you might care to offer.

A Big Box

Starward:

The line reads,

First born child no more playing in the snow.

Cat's in the Cradle when they grow to start over with first child, 

PRAY for help

I missed the cat altogether,

I missed the cat altogether, and thank you for the explication.  I am still a little confused, but that's no big deal.
