I Have Nothing To Offer

I have nothing to offer
   Except this small heart of mine.
You come with laughter.
   I have a past much maligned.

You come with true stories
   And many talkative siblings.
I have few good memories
   But a face that’s serene.

Interesting things about the world
   I remember very well.
If it’s not a bother
   I will teach instead of tell.
