Old Treasures

Legos, crayons, yo-yo’s, shells, Key chains, postcards, notes from camp, Magnifying glasses, tokens And a clip-on bedside lamp… Action figures, racing cars, Sticker books and rubber snakes, Pez dispensers, memo pads and Statuettes with cracks and breaks… Baseball cards and ping-pong balls, Loose erasers, sweatbands, dice - Most would take a glance and toss ‘em, Never even thinking twice. Going through my kids’ old treasures, That is what I try to do And, though progress has been made, It will be hours before I’m through.
