Trinkets
I’ve collected many, many
trinkets over years and
decades and I’m probably
dating myself by saying,
I’ve got more than Ariel
and more than my mom,
more than father too,
but you know whose
collection takes the cake?
Grandma Betty’s.
Why?
Because not only is it a
massive hodge podge of
things she’s loved, and things
she loves, but it’s also a
collection of things
that remind her of those
she loves and those
that love her.
So yes, I have trinkets.
Gadgets and gizmos, galore.
But mine is nothing compared
to a collection of things I adore.
