One Man's Trash Is Another One's Treasure

ONE MAN'S TRASH IS ANOTHER MAN'S TREASURE

In the hustle and bustle of daily life,
We often overlook the struggles and strife.
To some, it's just trash, no value seen,
But to others, it's a lifeline, a dream.

A penny here, a dollar there,
To those in need, it's more than fair.
A hankie, a sack, a torn blanket so dear,
To those who have nothing, it's all they hold near.

The cold, the hunger, the longing for more,
To those on the streets, it's an everyday chore.
So before you discard, before you dispose,
Remember, one man's trash is another one's treasure, it truly shows.
