As the Spring comes, a clean up is mandatory
Once you’ve found the box, you know that you’ve cleaned enough
The dust is removed from the lid with a quick blow
With the removal of the top, the inside of the box is revealed
Items inside that you can never attach a price too
because they are worth everything to you, yet nothing to someone else
A pamphlet for a performance you had when you were younger,
filled with names that you used to say everyday
A clay snowman you made in your fifth-grade art class,
matching with your childhood bestfriend
A pair of glasses that light up from a party you attended,
the day was filled with nonstop dancing and singing
A post-it note with a drawing of a cow,
an inside joke you made with your friend of the first day of school
These items bring back the biggest smile on your face,
resurfacing some of the greatest memories that created you
A box filled with things that no one get,
but it’s the memories that make you who you are
