Pulling out a box,
That had not been open for some time,
It was covered with duck tape and ripped construction paper,
But even after this time,
The golden memories still showed through.

When I went to open the box,
My hands were shaking so badly,
For the fear of what lied inside,
But as I took off the lid,
All different kinds of emotions,
Was what I felt deep inside.

Fear, sadness, and happiness,
Were only some of the emotions,
That crashed upon me like a tidal wave,
But it was until I got to the last item,
That I had felt overwhelming pain.

It was a poem I had wrote for my grandma,
Just before she died,
And as I read the poem,
Tears started to roll down my cheeks.

After I was done reading it,
I quickly put it back in the box,
Shoved the lid back on,
And then hid it under the bed,
But before I put it away for good,
On the top wrote “Memory Box,
Memories both Happy and sad."

Kassidi I also have a box like this, and it is filled with memory's both happy and sad. This was a great poem.
