Box with Ribbon

There's this box of hair
Just a little wood box
With little Celtic etchings on the side

He kept it safe while she's away
Away in that other country
On duty

He missed her terribly
Her laughs and smiles
They never doubted the love

And one day she was truly gone
Never to be seen again
So he kept her soft sweet hair in the box

And beside the little box
Are these ribbons
Seven of them

Each one a different color
Red, orange and yellow
Blue, Black, Purple and deep green
