An older painting once was tucked away
forgotten in a drawer seldom used
but turned up later on another day
when fate original resort excused.

The painter nearly tossed it in the trash
believing that it did not measure up
but views will change so take no action rash
and live in hope of grateful stirrup cup.

Our friends may unexpected pleasure take
in some small thing we did not value much
but we must hope no disappointment make
and seek to learn with love all others touch.

Farewells must sometimes final be the end
but fear discarding treasure friends commend.
