The Magic Box by Holly

I will put in the box
lovely Lou, the brown bird,
the reddest sunset,
and a shining golden ring.

I will put in the box
a puppy with the silliest coat,
an extraordinary sparkling drop of a pond,
and a beautiful princess with a silky, golden dress.

I will put in the box
a cow girl's wing and
a seagull riding a horse.

I will put in the box
a green frog in a canoe,
a golden girl
and a magic fish.

My box is fashioned from gold thread in the corners,
spots on the lid and pink hearts.

In my box I will swim through the bluest waves, play with animals
and phone my best friends.
