Downsizing

One of life’s most satisfying pleasures
Collecting a wealth of treasures,
Comes a time though for hardened …downsizing
And there ’tis hardly surprising;
Memories, from when they were bush babies!
Are items on the pile of ‘maybes’.

But grown now with adapted superbia,
From the heart of suburbia,
So many things, once deemed worth a fortune,
Are sorted then, in order for attune,
And are assessed now as, just bric a brac
As sentiment gets clouded... looking back!

I'm sensing that somebody is over the dusting!

It's not me!!

The question arises Ron, if we haven't used things for years, why did we need to get them in the first place.

So true Nev, I guess we thought we needed those things in the days when the world was wider!

As we get older I think we realize that we don't need 'stuff' . It's amazing how it accumulates - I like your Poem Ron Good use of the prompts.

Thanks Maureen.
