THE OLD BARN

The old barn's in a state of disrepair
This doesn't appear to be quite fair
It has done its job in good and bad times
Standing there proudly in all climes

Now that it's old and needs care
No one has the time to spare
Thought worthless, it's been rejected
Slowly forgotten and neglected

A new barn built to take its place
Shining and gleaming is its face
The old left standing to tumble down
Yet with history it does abound

Things have worth when they're old
Some even have more value than gold
Treat them kindly and with respect
Us, with our past, they do connect
