Sometimes in life
Even sturdy things
Like hickory or
Walnut credenzas require
A face lift
Veneer is applied
A thin often
Gilded or shiny
Layer of freshness
To give the
Appearance of newness
However that which
Allows the new
Is still old
Sturdy and strong
Such are the
Things that older
Younger relationships are
Frequently made of
