The Magic Box

I will put into the box,
The Earth and Sun and Moon and Stars.

I will put in the box,
The whole, entire galaxy full of swirling comets.

My box is made of diamonds and shiny, sparkling paint,
And it is lined with silky, red fabric.
Its hinges are golden metal.

We shall make a giant painting in the box,
We will paint rainbow unicorns and fluttering butterflies
together.
