What's in your name? Some might answer with the predictable, the obvious and simple. A few letters they'd say, pronunciations and syllables they would remark. But, your name holds so much more than that. Your name has powers that you might not fully realize until now, when reading this poem. By being named what you are, you cause the state of mind of another person to change. When they hear your name somewhere, scribbled on a desk messily in haste, or typed neatly in the mornings newspaper they think of you. Your name becomes a part of their life, it can spark a smile with just the thought of it. Even create sorrow that flows in the form of tears at just the mention of your name. Your name is more than a jumbled mess of letters, characters on a page. Your name is a collection of memories, feelings, and most of all...your name is what makes you, "You."
