My Box

by Ella Mcgrorty aged 10

My box

I will put in my box
The smell of a sweet Spanish dinner on a hot summer day
Fire from of the fire place that kept us warm
The tip of a earing touching my ear

I will put in my box
The bounce of snow on a trampoline
The sip of coke the first time I tried it
A leaping spark from the dancing fire work

I will put in my box
One wish spoken by a little girl
The best joke of my firm friend
And the first word of a baby

I will put in my box
The eternal seconds of an eclipse
My brother on a broomstick
My cousin on a white horse

My box is made from
Water, gold and diamonds
With stars on the side and secrets in the corners
Its hinges are flares of hope
I shall swim in my box
In the great waving sea
Of the Atlantic
Then come across an island with golden sand
The colour of a crown
I will put in my box stories of my life so that I shall never forget
