I will put in the box

The first smile of a baby tortoise
The train to Bognor Regis
And the first kittens I saw

I will put in the box

My first swimming lesson
The silly fluttering moth
And the great atmosphere of history

I will put in the box

A cold winter blizzard
A first wintery Christmas
And the freezing white snow

I will put in the box

My fun childhood
The gratefulness of my birth
And the first songs I heard

My box is made from ice gold and silver crystal
With hinges fashioned from precious
Blood red rubies
I will play in my box on a golden beach
And wake in my snowy winter’s garden
