Meaning In a Name

A name is a prayer
It symbolizes a person in you
It fronts for a personality that bears it
It creates space for what you think you are
It  spells your destiny 
Behind it rides the eternal validity
It poses before God in heaven as a soul
It carries with it the burden of being
If you want to know yourself
Know the meaning of your name 
For that is what your person is
