Barbara-Whats In Your Name

My name was popular way back when I was born I’m sure my parents had no idea what it meant It’s rare now, it surely sounds old fashioned But I know my family thought I was heaven sent ”Foreigner, traveler and stranger” I am told Odd that I have never even traveled very far Strangely enough I do have those yearnings Perhaps I am really from a distant star…. I was named after a dear friend they say She was a nurse and I became one too Raised a family and have been content Should I have traveled more? I wish I knew….
