Week 2: Prompt 6 The stuff she's collected over the years in her little box marks every step of her way

The box doesn't look very big, it's actually pretty small.
When she looks inside, what does she see?
A little girl, blonde hair, green eyes, and a big bright smile.
She eats watermelon, plays with trucks and trains.
She goes to stock car races with her father.
Then there's another with blonde curly hair, she calls her 'sis'.


There's make up, punk-style clothes, and Madonna memorabilia.
Some blue hair dye, a bit extreme for Aroostook County.
Deeper in the box there are boys and cars.
Broken hearts and silly tears.


There's an old U.S. Navy uniform, they call them 'dress blues' and their black!
Then there's a white uniform, maternity.
She finds baby booties in blue.
She uses them again two years later.
The 90's are in there and more silly tears.


Maine made moccasins, 2001, they didn't come in blue; just tan.
Two years later, she adds another to that box.


In the middle of the box, there is a lot of change.
Some of it shiny, some of it dull.
Ah, and even more silly tears!
Getting beyond the change in there, much to her surprise,
she finds textbooks, notebooks, pens and pencils!


Finally she finds health food, gym shoes, big boys and little boys, and even a puppy dog!
Peace, happiness, gratitude, and love top off the box.
What a collection!


Wait, what's that?
Dried up tears, finally, those silly were getting everything wet!
