Notes About The Poem

Sweet and Silly Names

 I have been called 'names' besides my name
to grandpa I was 'Funny Girl'
I would stomp my foot but still to him I came
he was funny and I wish that I could be Funny Girl again

My sweet grandma always called me her 'Dear Heart'
she also said it in Ojibway, 'Wiishkobe Ode'
I love her so much even though she had to depart,
she even called me these names in front of my school friends

My husband called liked to call me 'Sleeping Beauty'
he said it was because I could sleep all day
and sometimes when he was flirty I became 'Tutti-Frutti'
I miss him each moment of forevermore

To my mom I was always a 'Sweet Heart' to her
and for dad I was 'My Girl' since a child
they loved me, protected me, and I felt like a star
I have come far because all these sweet and silly names
