The Memory Box

This box might look quite empty but it is really not. Just take a little peek inside I'll tell you what it's got. There's room for little envelopes that hold a lock of hair, and when he looses his first tooth you can put it over there. Be sure to save the crayon you found inside his ear and the notice from the doctor that said the test was clear. He drew those precious pictures of his puppy and the moon,  just put them in the middle, right next to his first spoon. Don't forget the birthday card he made with macaroni, that said he wanted you to have a beautiful blue pony. There's lots of room for memories, just put them on the side, of times he made you laugh so hard and times that you have cried. Though now this box is empty, you'll fill it to the brim  with things you always want to keep so we'll remember him.
