Poem Commentary

This poem I wrote when my son was around nine years old. He loved building things. He grew up to be an excelent carpenter. " There's Use in Everything" by Mae Futter

There's Use in Everything

 

 

The sad old fence broke, tumbling down

It fell apart, and hit the ground

It lost the power of strength it bore

Those long stood boards could stand no more

 

It must have been through time and trial

The old fence stood for quite a while

With sore eyes, one could plainly see

Just why it begged, “Get rid of me.”

 

A little boy felt sorry for

Those poor old boards that stood no more

He took the boards, with love inside

Built a tree house with joyful pride

 

The moral of this story goes

There’s use in everything that shows

Sometimes it takes a little one

To show the way to how it’s done
