Goodbye Treasure

by Amaka Ogbue aged 12

Lock it, lock it
I  kept telling myself
I heard a yelling for help
“Wash the dishes” mother told me
It was erased from my mind

Lock it, lock it
Going to a guest’s house
and bring your treasure
you forgot to lock it

The box was unlocked
and my treasure gone forever
I’m done, it’s gone
Oh, I forgot to lock it
