Junk To Jewel

Trash To Treasure

Junk To Jewel

Uncommonly known as junk to you.

It could be a famous art piece once slathered in glue.

Unordinary things that we find.

It can be turned into exquisite art of all kinds.

Garbage to one and thrown away.

It often turns into one man's pay.

The rarest of things that we find.

Is it another man's nickel or dime?

Crumbled and found on the floor.

Later turned into a unique door.

The strangest thing I ever did see.

It was a can, turned into a cup of tea.

The rarest of rare.

Slippers made of hair.

Buttons in a box, hanging from a string.

Later to be found in a gold round ring.

Dishes were found in an old hutch.

It may not have been worth much.

Yet with a creative tool.

It turned into a unique jewel.

While walking and cleaning up trash.

You might find junk that is worth a lot of cash.

The most uncommon things you ever thought.

It may not always be found or bought.

Yet something as simple as clothes you never wear.

It can be turned into beauty with care.

A thought to remember before you toss it away.

Look carefully; maybe you want to save it for your Birthday.
