Cleaning Out the Shed

We’re cleaning out the shed 
And tossing out a lot of stuff.
Although we’ve filled up several bags,
It isn’t quite enough.

There’s so much more that’s left for us
To go through and decide
If it is destined for the dump
Or gets to stay inside.

Old toys and games and pots and pans
And papers we don’t need,
Which shouldn’t have been saved if I
Had let my husband lead.

But clinging to the past is what
I often do instead,
Which I could not have done as much
Had we not built the shed.
