Spiffing Up

Replacing old things for so many’s a snap.
An upgrade, to them, is a breeze;
But I get bogged down in a kind of a trap -
Any change brings me down to my knees.

If it works, I can live with it, though it looks frayed,
Maybe faded or just out of style 
And no matter its worth, for whatever I paid,
It’s been looking its age for a while.

Yet at last I’ve decided to spiff up my space
And so little by little, I’ve started,
But saying farewell to what I might replace
Feels a bit like a friend has departed.
