Memories in a Box

Folder: 
2003 Poetry

I look in this old box and remember,

as if I was transported back in time.

Closing my eyes I see you clearly,

laughing and playing in the bath.



Now you're grown and on your own,

today you will marry that special man.

Although right now all I see is my little girl,

splashing and smiling with fatherly love.



Funny how fond memories can quickly return,

by simply looking at something from the past.

I reach into the box and give a little squeeze,

hearing the sound of that old Rubber Ducky.
