The Magic Box

by Sonny Kerley aged 10

I will put in my box
The flicker of the fire jumping out at me
I will put in my box
The sensational smell of Christmas dinner
when I was as hungry as an alligator

I will put in my box
The amazement of witnessed fireworks
for the first time
I will put in my box
The feeling of the moment that it was my birthday

My box will be fashioned with dazzling diamonds
glimmering gold
and the lid will be made of silver steel

I will put in my box
The moment I hovered above Italy in an aeroplane
I will put in my box
The feeling of breaking up for the summer holidays
