Tahera

Never thought I’d write in rhyme
The meaning of this one word
That is pure and unstirred
With a melodious chime

And forever I’ve really tried
To live up to this one name
That burns like a flame
And is a very hard guide

But to be virginal and pure
Is not easy as it seems
For life is full of dreams
And I must get to them for sure

Tahera in all its glowing purity
Cannot be an earthly being
For purity is not in fleeing
Or hiding away in insecurity

But Tahera as pure and virginal
Takes life as it comes
And through maturity becomes
Very strong and exceptional

That last stanza especially, the second line says so much of who you are, and the next two lines explain who you have become. I have no doubt ....! :)

You are blessed with a beautiful soul and a beautiful name. and based on what your writing says about you, I would venture to guess that exceptional is an understatement.

Your parents chose a meaningful (and very beautiful) name for you, Tahera. I see a glow of "purity" in your poetry. This was a delight to read! Love, Carolyn
