Old Shoe Box

I'll take our times together,
                             and put them away
                           in a old shoe box.
                            Wrapped in yesterdays newspaper.

                            Brought back when things
                               weight me down.
                            Hidden from prying eyes,
                              and those who may
                                  understand.

                             For when the clouds arrive,
                                   and storms brew over the 
                             horizon.
                             I'll hide away and open my shoe box,
                               and smile the day away.

J Hamilton Gist April 29, 2016 at 5:39 PM Very deep, sounds like me from time to time beside my shoe box is a honey bun box where I keep things of value.

Balveen Cheema March 23, 2016 at 9:00 PM A sweet write Tucker! I like the idea of putting away the memories in a shoe box and opening it when sad. Just a correction in the second verse- Bring ( not brought)back when things weigh ( not weight) me down.Regards, Balveen
