I will put in my box
The muddy rugby pitch of my first game
The memory of being carried off the pitch after scoring
The smile of seeing Santa in his grotto
My very first snowman

I will put in my box
My first birthday wish
When I tried to write my name
The memory of my tooth being pulled out

I will put in my box
The ball ball I made in school
The poem I made for my mum
The scream of falling off my bike
My first hug

My box is made from
Darkness and light
Happiness and fear

In my box I will
Lie in the light
But not forget the darkness
