Love Your Name

D-o love your name, 
I-t's your reputation; 
A-lways be on guard, 
N-ever be beaten by
E-motion.

K-eep your own life proud, 
H-aving valid identity; 
A-llow not the bad things
T-o tarnish your
E-ntity.

D-istinctive designation
I-s gladly given sans shame; 
Z-ealously protect your clan, 
O-r always love your
N-ame.

Hello Bernard, There is nowhere to go.Except the drugstore and grocery store. Everything else is shut down. I have a head clod that seems to hang on. Last night i had a whisky toddy before bed time. Will have another tonight. Stay safe my friend.
