Dondon (What's In My Name)

Donald is the name they gave me
Over the noise i heard my mother shout with glee
Not knowing that i heard what she said
Dondon was not named after a saint but a duck instead
Overwhelmed with surprised I rushed  and said to her
Naughty thing to do mom, but  you are still a dear

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
