The Box
Written Byz
R. Travis

B. Moore
On the top shelf in

the closet
In the workshop
where he spent his
extra time
Was a dusty

wooden box
That I've never

noticed 'til that night
And stared into the
memories Daddy kept
inside the box
There was a letter

from Mama
And a flower from
Hawaii where they
went on vacation
And the pocket knife
I gave to him on
Father's Day
We all thought his

heart was made of
solid rock
That was long before

we found the box
I guess we always

knew it
But I love you was

hard for him to say
Some men show

it easily
ThatI saw the love

he kept inside the

first time
And a faded leather
Bible he got when he
was baptized
And a poem that he

had written
The tender words he

wrote were quite

a shock
We all thought his

heart was made of
solid rock
But that was long

before we found
the box
We all thought his

heart was made of
solid rock
But that was long

before we found
the box
