Somewhere in my domain,
I keep a little brown box.
A very special box.
For nobody knows what is inside.
Not even me, myself!
Perhaps it is full to bursting point
With stories of magic, mystery and intrigue.
With tales and legends from far-off lands.
With dreams of children wishing on a star.
Stories that remain untold.
Could it be a treasure-chest?
Filled with gold and silver?
Or childhood memories
Of warm, sunny days
Filled with fun and happiness?
Could it contain family heirlooms?
Medals and trophies,
Letters and pictures
And songs that we used to sing?
Or could it be laden with doom and gloom?
Horrific stories of battles from which nobody returned?
Feelings of sadness, loneliness and grief?
Feelings of pain and sorrow?
Feelings of guilt and unease?
Perhaps the box contains mysterious powers
That must remain untapped.
But since I am forbidden to open the box,
I made a promise never to do so,
I shall never know!
