Accumulated stories


The pieces we collect over the years —
 The pottery, the knickknacks and the paintings — 
May well make little sense to those who visit, 
But to us each gift or purchase tells a story 
(Those that don’t will get tossed out along the way) 
Of a friendship, an adventure,
 Or a place that brings fond memories to mind; 
Some enchantment, brief or lasting 
Whose echoes we’re reluctant to discard…
