An empty box

My most prized possession does not exist

For my material possessions won´t be missed

I could leave my house with nothing tomorrow

Without feeling any sorrow

I have no bond or connection to anything that´s not alive

I only need to know my family is happy to survive

My belongings are frivolous buys

They hold no special ties

All I need is a food and a bed

That is enough to fill my heart and my head

Now if you were to ask me what I hold most dear

I could tell you my loved ones are whom I revere
