I found it in a corner
A little dusty, a little worn.
It had been discarded
Because it was a little torn.

I picked it up, brushed it off
I could see the shine.
It would do just perfectly
Because I had just lost mine.

It fitted in the empty spot
Like it was meant to be.
I went out to show it off
For everyone to see.

The day seemed so much brighter
Than it ever had before.
All because of this little thing
I found on the floor.

This treasure isn't silver or gold
But no money could part it from me.
This second hand heart of mine
Has truly set me free.

The cliche of "one man's trash...
another man's treasure"
gave you ample room for a poem...
I like your second-hand heart, Bec.

Enjoyed this very much.

Hey Bec this is great. I think you won't have to look too far for someone else who will love your second hand heart. I'm sure theres a cowboy out there just waiting to see you again!

This one slipped by me when I wasn't looking~

So pleased to read it now~

(smiles) Personally I find anything one finds at Old Navy or Abercrombie & Finch trash and things that you find in the dumpster that have class and moral to them treasure too! (big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, I love this, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Rebecca, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
