From junk to joy
From trash to treasure
Restoring the beaten
Is my pleasure

Cast it aside
Throw it away
It is your garbage
That makes my day

See the treasure I have in my home
The trinkets and precious stone
I have inlaid the best within my walls
Everything collected from your garbage stalls

You thought it worthless
You counted it loss
Oh but the joy it brings me
In spite of the cost

I offer My Son
As the purchase price
For the junk and the trash
That has become your life

I can rebuild
I can renew
I know I can because
I love you

GREAT!!!  At first when I read this I thought you were talking about homeless people collecting our garbage and making it their treasures, but when I realized you were talking about God and our lives being garbage it took on a whole new meaning.  I know you are away, but I had to comment.  This is a great poem and I hope you are back soon.
