even ordinary things can shine











                                         People always look for stars,

                                         Or diamonds in a sky so far.
                                          But I think that’s not fair,
                                There is beauty right here, everywhere.



                                Like, my old shoes with scuffed-up toes
                                    Have walked through stories no one

                                                         knows.
                                   And this, plain notebook, kinda torn,
                                  Holds secrets and dreams since I was

                                                           born.


                                      Even my chipped-up coffee mug

                                       Feels like a warm and cozy hug.
                                         A paperclip, just silver wire,
                                Still holds things close - it doesn’t tire.



                                   You don’t need glitter, gold or fame,
                                    To be worth of love or earn a name.

                                          Even if you’re not a sign -
                                    EVEN ORDINARY THINGS CAN SHINE.
