Sarah

The story of how the name Sarah came to be, But also, how the meaning of the name doesn't define anyone so the meaning of Sarah, dosent define who she wants to be, Sarah the name, supposedly means a lady of nobility a princess of multitude, But that doesn't summarize the characteristics that over time shes accrued, Yet my name Sarah, even if she's not ladylike of noble birth, royalty in a big manor house, Now religiously or more accurately biblically Sarah is the name of Abrahams wife his spouse, However, in the beginning it wasn't all princess and tiaras, As stated in the Book of Genesis in the beginning, Sarah was named Sarai, which translated means contentious, not exactly a name that's winning, Or one that embodies an elegant princess, more like she's an annoying argumentative democrat, However Moving on Sarah is still a popular name today despite its bad rap to start with imagine that, Thankfully God changed Sarai's name to Sarah 'AKA princess' As a greater blessing to Sarah, God said unto Abraham, as for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah, And there we have it; the story of how the namath Sarah was birthed Spoken from the lips of the top guy himself Mr G.O.D, he potentially created the name Sarah first, I've known a few Sarah's maybe they all have a little bit of a princess somewhere within each of them that they enjoy, Or perhaps there are alternative Sarah's, such as the Muslim translation of Sarah means the “bringer of happiness”and “cause of joy” Or maybe some are simply part quirky princess that spreads joy resulting in smiling happy people, oh boy! Oh gosh how absolutely delightful, maybe Sarah isn't so bad a name after all's said and done, Maybe I'll keep it and make my very own version of Sarah; it would be the one and only one, I like the idea of being the bringer of happiness, and the cause of joy and fun, I think the ball gowns and tiaras could go back to the time of Sarah and Abraham, Maybe we could just keep the odd one you know for historical reasons definitely not for a bit of fun, Sarah the name means each Sarah is an individual, maybe some arent polished princess or a lady I'm certainly neither definitely none, I'm just some smiles some laughter and some jazz hands of joy, But most importantly I 'am all the characteristics that life has bestowed upon me to not only enjoy, But also, the hard times, bad times and the ugly, but mix it all up and you get me a Sarah through and through and I'm definitely the real McCoy to. (Obviously depending on your own beliefs etc I'm not stating God created the name Sarah as fact please no offense is meant and I pray none is taken)
