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.
