PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

As children the two brothers were happy

their imaginations flowed with ease

when, in a box and a basket, they were pirates

who sailed the seven seas…

Amassing a great fortune

a treasure so plentiful and grand

and when they discovered a secret cove

they buried it in the sand

They took only what they needed

of the jewelry and the gold

vowing one day to return

perhaps when they were old.

Return to reclaim their fortune

their treasure chest so grand…

the one they left when they were children

buried in the sand…

The two young pirates have grown old now

as they remember now…with ease

when in a box and a basket they were pirates

who sailed the seven seas…

And they smile as they both realize…

their memories are strong….

and the treasure they amassed when they were children

has been with them all along.
