I will put in my box
New York City streets,
A trip back in time,
And my Grandpa’s rhymes.
I will put in my box
My cousin’s laugh,
And one more visit with my brother,
Who died on the Fourth of July.
I will put in my box
An education, laughter, and playing,
All for my brother.
My box is green and orange and
Full of surprises and memories.
I will write all over it
What has happened In the past.
