While I lived, I saw things
that amazed me, amused me,
caught my eye.
I put them in a little
treasure box
inside my heart.
Those things shaped me,
wrote me and my life,
from the little
treasure box.
Some things in there
shaped me from the outside
and that's why they
could enter the little
treasure box.
I, my entire life, am
the content of the little
treasure box.
You are the first one
to see what's in the little
treasure box.
