All In a Name

Joshua's a name that's alive
It shows there's love
From the Lord above
On His peace I do thrive

It's a name that's strong
Not going berserk
Am not a jerk
Powerful like King-Kong

It's a name that will last
Have a heart that is kind
Hope that you will find
Over a rocky past

It's a name that means power
From good I won't waver
Am in God's favor
I won't just shrink and cower

It's a name that will shine
Able to make friends
Love has no ends
Have a heart that's divine

It's a very good name. I have always leaned toward J names in men: Jeremy(my son), Jimmy, Johnny are all names I love. Joshua is one of the best. I had it picked out if I had had another son! congrats on your win.
