Silver button

…..

I never knew the magic of your silver button,

I had always been a shut-in,

But others knew your value,

I always pass by you,

I don't think I deserve you,

My disinterest was not new,

Your position in the stack,

Right there in the back,

Claiming the position between,

Some other things I can't convene,

Dear Nut-cracker figurine,

You deserve to be seen,

You deserve to be clean,

Unfortunately in the hands of some teen,

I hope we can weather,

This storm together.
