The Past In The Present


Something dusty, faded, and old.

Something dismissed and thought to be outdated.

Overlooked in a world of new and exciting, 

but this something has a story to tell.

Look hard into its past to find its value. 

Pass it down to continue a legacy.

Something from the past in the present is valuable.

You just have to appreciate the object to find interest. 

Old things are new when you find them. 

Give them a chance they might inspire you.
