Leon Stacey Poet Rhyme

What Does Your Name Mean?

What is the meaning of your name?
That is something you ought to know.
Does it reflect your personality,
Or does some other attribrutes show?
Does it insist upon your character,
And have you lived up to your name?
Is it something that you are proud of,
Or should another be your fame?
For a good name is more desirable
Than expensive perfume unsold,
And a good name is more favorable
Than the wealth of riches untold.
It is better than silver or gold
To have a name of high esteem,
Because a shameful name destroys
A good reputation and a dream.
So, for its sake, do what it takes
To keep it from becoming profaned;
What is your name?  What does it mean?
Is it being rejoiced?  Is it being disdained?
