For Eternity

One I've loved all the way to the moon

It was stark empty
That's not what surprised me
The little tune had stopped
Making my heart drop

I searched and searched
Then I found where it lurched
Under it completely
Waiting to be turned by me

I turn and turn
And my heart, it yearns
To hear the tune again
I never thought 11 years later, it'd hold a personal gain

It still red and gold
But looking very old
I keep my favorite pictures
Right in the box, the tune lures

It keeps my favorite charms
Away from all harm
It warms up my heart
To know it's a work of my fathers art

My jewelry box
That holds no locks
It's an open book, much like me
I hope to keep it, and many other things, for eternity.
