Margaret

It’s me. Margaret.
My parents’ gave me this proper name
Always wondered from where it came
I never liked it while in school
Just didn’t think that it was cool
Cut it in half and added an i
Now I’m wondering why

Starting to think it’s not so bad
Didn’t appreciate what I had
Now I’m grateful for their choice
My parents provided, when I had no voice
Would I change it now? No way!
I’m proud my name is Margaret A.
