Abandoned toys in the treasure chest, <br />Left alone to collect the dust <br />After the children grew up. <br />Dolls, teddy bears, all of them forgotten. <br /> <br />Abandoned toys up in the attic, <br />Piled under one another in boxes <br />After the people moved out. <br />Rocking horses to be eaten by rats. <br /> <br />Abandoned toys under your bed, <br />Shoved under and forgotten <br />When the children got angry. <br />Action figures stuffed with gum and dust bunnies. <br /> <br />Abandoned toys in your heart, <br />Lost inside your wandering mind <br />Waiting to be found and loved again. <br />Precious memories locked up inside. <br />Forever.<br /><br />Cheryl Cheng<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/abandoned-toys-3/
