If only one shall know my name With pride to care that I have been A title that might share such fame And from my cause true passion seen A name that defines one life Worthy of fame's price to bear Lived for peace and free of strife That's just, in honor, not from fear I'd be content if called by God A name that's less than pride affords That leads to paths so seldom trod For fortune undescribed in words From true hearts let names be heard May lives with love define the words What's In A Name Contest Sponsored By Silent One 01/16/2017

This is a loving testament of faith, Charlie. You sure know how to spin words into a silken poetic tapestry of a coat of many colors. You are such a talented poet, my friend. This is an instant PSoup classic and a fave of mine. Very spiritual poem. Love always.

'For fortune undescribed in words' ... how both the saved & lost will regret the trades they made in this life at the expense of the next. Solid poem & good luck in the contest.
