We Need Your Help!

We ensure that our young creators are fairly paid for their work, but all the content on VoiceBox remains free for you to enjoy on a safe, ad-free platform. To keep it this way, we rely on the generous support from readers like you.

Please consider making a donation, no matter how small. Every penny goes directly to supporting young creators, and it only takes a minute of your time. Thank you!

                            A Memory

Embarked on a journey back in time 

We sat under the willow tree, your hand in mine

The sun stepped down, it was our time to shine 

Fate, however, was not ours to determine

 

 As the winds of the winter swept through your hair

That sweet scent of yours enriched the air

Too bad time couldn’t just freeze right there

Some laws of nature just aren’t  fair

 

Those wild eyes of yours when met with mine

To gather my senses, it took a while

A glimmer that could be recognized from a mile;

Exceptional was the magic of your smile

 

After all the time that passed by

I can’t help but wonder why,

Life doesn’t provide enough occasions to try

Nor a chance to say goodbye
