What Ever Happened To

I was looking for this a while ago,
And come across this, for I didn’t know,
It was still around after all this time,
I often thought there’s only one of it’s kind.

Over the years it entered my mind,
Of what ever really happened to that,
But there it was in the closet still,
That big ugly old fluffy black hat.

Don’t remember to this day,
Where that old hat ever came from,
I know that it was I who hid it away,
Because I though it looked so dumb.

The thought occurs every now and then,
Of those things, once a part of me,
 I thought they were oh so hideous,
I hid them so no one would ever see.

It’s funny how things stay in our minds,
Today as I wonder and smile at last,
At all the things once so embarrassing,
Are now precious things of my past.
