My Name

My name is so special; I would not exchange it for a bunch of flowers or a day’s political power, it is very common and I get very angry when you miss-spell it, miss-pronounce it or use it in vain.

My name is special and it is all that I have got, I will not give it away for a hundred billion dollars or the most expensive lobster dinner.

My name is all that I have so please don’t make me feel sad; there is so much to a name than the person wearing those clothes and standing behind the human frame. My name is all that I have.

I woke up this morning with some names ringing in my head and when I check the master list all of those people were dead, but there was just one name that stands out and there was not one doubt it is the name I cherished the most and that is the name that tells you exactly what life is about. 

I feel nature all around when I hear that name, I feel nature embracing me when I think about that name; it’s a delicate name and someone special have chosen it and someone standing behind the clouds has approved it.

Some people smile when they hear my name and some gather around when they hear stories of my dreams, and how I overcome the beast that nearly strangled me to me death, it was the name that save me, it was the name  that  changed me, it was that very name that honor me.

My name is glue to the ceiling and it contains the power of spiritual healing, the mountains are steep and the skies are pregnant with rain and the weather is fine and gay, the flowers are blooming and the birds are singing.

They cherished the moment that rests upon my name, many people have my name and sometime it drive the multitude insane, they cannot tell which one is me and they could not recognize the courageous one that walk towards the sea, my name is beautiful and if you pronounce it properly you will find that my name is trusted  and full of dignity.

What is it with this name that is driving so many people insane? my name is not sophisticated but it has the power to win, my name is not adorable but it can get you out of trouble, it is a freelance name and it has no shame.

It can stand up to adversity and can handle diversity in State, town, city and communities, some say it is religious and another’s say that it is a conscious name; sometimes my name gets all the blame.

But it stands up strong just the same, anything that is associated with this name multiplies and brings blessings on the vine; my names bring peace and comfort and would never bring you down; it tells you the truth and it makes you reflect on your youth.

My name was chosen specially for me to make those around me happy it grows and multiply your business and gives you lots of privileges.
It is forgiving and enduring and even if you offer me a hundred billion dollars, I would not change my name for a few basketball tickets or Paris Olympics merit. 

The mystics have tried to bribe me several times but I slipped my name underneath the line and when it didn’t work ,the universe protects my path and sends me on a journey around the world.

My name is all that I’ve got so please don’t make me feel sad.
