Bookends

The collection that is
Your most valuable prize
Whatever it is that
Defines you
Describes you
Defeats you
Defies you
Despises you
It's stored in this shelf
A miniature library
Chronicle of existence
Every word of every sight of
Every day of every scent of
Every week of every touch of
Every month of every taste of
Every year of everything you hear
Written, typed, photographed
Between these covers
I'll be the bookends
