Memories In A Box
I keep the things I love
Hidden within a box
Little things I love the most
Things that to me mean so much
Fathers old pocket watch
Momas golden mothers ring
Carefully put away
Safe in a box unseen
A precious letter written
By a loved ones tender hand
Gently wrapped in an aged cloth
And tied by a ribbon band
A photo from long ago
Taken at a special time
Kept through so many years
Brings back a memory fine
I keep these things I cherish
That can never be replaced
Inside a box of memories
Where there I think them safe
Today, I take them from the box
To look upon them every day
So that the memories they recall
In my mind shall never fade
