Your name again

Your name is not as beautiful
as you are. But it means
all the things you do,
have done. They
all collect
in a big funky bag
which I hold
by the handle
you give someone
when first you meet.
It's far more generous
than anyone in that moment
yet knows. You're handing out
satchels of magic size! Almost
empty at first. But oh,
it grows
