I will put in the box The smell of a daffodil on a springtime day The feeling of my bedcover when it's just been washed The sound of my Nan's laugh when she's joking I will put in the box The mud in the trenches in Belgium and France A sprinkle of the warm water from Dragon River And the warm colour of sunset I will put in the box The softness of my friend's dog when still The really hot blaze of the sun from Mercury The greenest grass on my Pre-school's field I will put in the box The smell of a new twenty pound note The laughter of my family when Friends is on And the taste of pancakes with jam on them My Box is fashioned from ice wind and fire With a golden tiara on the lid Its hinges are the rocks from the Himalayas and Andes mountains In my box I will ride on an elephant in the rainforest of Kenya with my Nan that has died who had a big smile even when she cried
