Eventually Goes Away

I'm an ole teddy bear
Held together at the seams
With glue and thread and things unknown
In the closet seldom seen

Once i was the centerpiece
Of a young girls dreams
But now im just a teddy bear
Stored away with useless things

Im an ole bicycle
Sitting rusty in the yard
Pedals gone chain long broke
Ridden long and hard

Once i was the object
A little boy adored
Now I'm just a broken bike
Backyard trash nothing more

Cherished things once held so tight
Suffer times decay
What was new yesterday eventually goes away

Like passing time and nursery rhymes
Too old to go and play
A left behind of the days gone by
Eventually gone away

I'm an old pocket watch
Long forgotten in the drawer
Dusty sprung and tarnished
Not telling time anymore

Once I kept the schedule
A working man worked for
Now I'm right twice a day
In the night stand by the door

Cherished things once held so tight
Suffer times decay
What was new yesterday eventually goes away

Like passing time and nursery rhymes
Too old to go and play
A left behind of the days gone by
Eventually gone away
