Collecting stories
Like collecting marbles
Do You fill Yourself up with them?
Decorate Your shelves?
Glass jars full to overflowing?
Sorted by colors
Or mixed into a medley?
Do we collect Your stories
Or do we become stories for You?
To Keep
To Share
To collect Dust?
Do we feed You like empty pages in a book?
Our Loves, jokes, fears, and flaws
And here I thought it was You
Who filled me up
