The Catch

Slowly crawling turning gracefully down
The box by the door waited beckoning
A moment in time passed without a sound
The time was here the time of reckoning

They came all of them huddled as if one
All so different yet all just the same
No going back no stopping at full run
Not caring if from happy or sad pain

Floating as if soaring by mighty wings
White the color of surrender or pure
What my eyes surrender what my eyes bring
Floating wings white touched my face with the cure

Dainty hand holding tightly the tissue
Catching tears as they fell was no issue

About this poem:
Nothing like a pretty hankie to catch tears of joy or tears of saddness.

This would have been a PERFECT riddle with a title of.... "What am I?" - Your views and comments would have soared off the charts with this one!!! It's not to late to revise it as it's just been posted!
