.....OLD MEMORIES ARE MORE BEAUTIFUL...


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.
