Digging through some old boxes<\/p>\n
I discovered a wonderful thing<\/p>\n
Something from long ago,<\/p>\n
So many memories it would bring.<\/p>\n
I found a time capsule for myself<\/p>\n
Put together when I was a teen<\/p>\n
So many years have passed<\/p>\n
I wonder what I could have foreseen.<\/p>\n
With great anticipation<\/p>\n
I open up the box<\/p>\n
My eyes light up with curiosity<\/p>\n
As the secrets I unlock.<\/p>\n
An 80\u2019s treasure trove<\/p>\n
Of things that brought me such delight<\/p>\n
They had not been uncovered for years<\/p>\n
But now they\u2019ll see the light.<\/p>\n
A neon jelly bracelet<\/p>\n
A collection of cassette tapes<\/p>\n
I found A-ha and Duran Duran<\/p>\n
My glorious escapes!<\/p>\n
A great big can of hairspray<\/p>\n
Which took my hair to great heights<\/p>\n
Oh splendid day! I gleefully cry<\/p>\n
As I take in more delights.<\/p>\n
There is Simon and a Rubik\u2019s cube<\/p>\n
With which I spent time each day<\/p>\n
Some Lite Brite pegs and stickers<\/p>\n
They brought many hours of play.<\/p>\n
I even found some sheet music<\/p>\n
From my days in marching band<\/p>\n
Louis Louis and Don\u2019t Cry<\/p>\n
We played in the football stands.<\/p>\n
So many memories were included<\/p>\n
In this time capsule in a box<\/p>\n
I even found some leg warmers<\/p>\n
And some folded up neon socks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
