Make a Name

It takes too long to make a name
It goes so deep and seeks no fame
It can be changed at your request
If you intend and do your best
No one can change the name you make
No one can hide, no one can fake
The truth you know and live by
No matter what they vow to try 
Good names do shine like real gold
They shine much more as they get old   
They stay behind when we are gone 
To speak of us and things we’ve done
How fast life goes, how slow the name!
It goes so deep and stays the same.
