A little shoe box

I had one intention in my life.

When I would become younger, than

I was in my youth, I wished for a new Time.

At the age of 7 years, I often could not sleep.

The wintertime always gave me lots of work.

As I reached the opinion of 8 years, it was easy.

Upstairs, I listened to the wind in our window.

I trippled down, downstairs but all I could find

where some nuts, carrots and one little present.

It was surprisingly, almost what I wanted …

but I knew, that one winter, we had forgotten

all about the sugar, the sugar pieces in my shoes.
