Grandmother's Name and Mine

What name is there to better lift one’s heart? The name assigned to an innocent child! By love, given to set the babe apart, When life begins anew, fresh, undefiled. We come seeking my name; understanding. I bring cool waters to a weary soul. I wash the feet of travelers in the spring. A refreshing brook as I, make them whole. My second name means loveliness with style. Charming beauty, poise, refinement and grace, A humble person, my namesake, I smile. Virgin Mary’s mother does this name embrace. Grandmother’s first name and mine are the same. I also share my mother’s second name. 1/9/2017
