On my way to McD’s

mailboxes caught my

Eye…

A new family moved in

And took everything out

From windows to shrubs

And I’m sure the inside

Was also totally updated..

The mailbox is new nothing

Special just new..

Others in the neighborhood

Are worn, along with mine

As they have weathered

Many years with us…

Some are over the top

Others serviceable and

Some need replacing…

Some lean

Some are totally erect

Most are metal some plastic

Other are cover in wood…

They are all doing their job

Or would be replaced…

Like me

Mine needs repair

It leans, missing a couple

Shingles scratched and

The flowers around it need

Spruced up…

I guess I look passed it

Most days as its aches and

Pains mimic mine

Glad like me it’s standing

I walk to it

open it

Get the mail and standing

Another day…
