Identity

A cry from the heavens is heard,
As it brings joy and happiness,
It adorns mothers with garments of fertility,
Fathers pride themselves with the strength of potency,
But greater are the expectations  of men,
As unto the child a name is bestowed,
A name that gives unique identity,
A name that rests unlimited responsibilities,
A name that makes you a morning light,
That could make  you  the father of many nations,
A name that makes you a master of many,
A name that fills your bosom with happiness,
Know your name and feel your true identity,
For your name is who you are,
