Dusty shelf
Dusty shelf
still I look up
to where they sit
on a shelf high
collecting dust
once it seems
so long ago
I carried them
everywhere with me
and I did show them
and I was so proud
and in time I learned
no one did care
so there they sit
dreams and ideals
from when I was young
so long ago
still I love them
and them I keep
but now tucked away
collecting dust
