Yes, you could do something like
txt_title = urwid.Pile([urwid.Divider(top=1),
urwid.Text("Simple Database"),
urwid.Divider(top=1)])
a divider is a blank line (by default) that you can add extra lines
above (top=1) or below.

if you "know" the width you want the box to appear you could use a
Padding widget to center it with that size:
body = urwid.Padding(body, 'center', 20)
Similarly you can use a Filler widget to set a fixed height for the
body:
body = urwid.Filler(body, 'top', 7)

A Pile like in the example I gave above would work. See also:
