Old things are more beautiful

than many things brand new

Because they bring fond memories

of things we used to do.

Old photographs in albums,

love letters tied with lace

Recapture those old feelings

that new ones can’t replace.

Baby shoes, a Teddy bear,

a ring that grandma wore,

Are treasures waiting there behind

a door marked “Nevermore”.

Old things are more beautiful,

more precious day-by-day.

Because they are the flowers

we planted yesterday.
