Listen to poem:
What is a Name?
Name
What is a name?
No, listen what does it mean?
You see me. You know my name.
But do you know my name?
I go by the name she chose,
But I long for the name I’d choose.
So, when you look at me and wonder,
"What is his name?"
And I reply, "That’s for you to decide,"
Give me one.
Keep it to yourself, though I don’t want to know.
But when you see me, when I show you me,
Think of the name you’ve given.
If it’s a good name, then smile.
And I’ll know our bond is true,
For it was the name you chose for me.
A name is just a word, yet it carries so much weight
But only you can define your fate.
It’s Time to Live My Life and Truths
If you live your life with lies,
Think of what name that applies.
See, you can be yourself,
When you see yourself in others’ eyes.
So spread the word of Truth.
Speak power to your name,
For it is what God has given you this day.
Now look into my eyes
I tell no lies.
For it is written in my name. I will be rich always in my brain. Be like water my friend. We're all the same. What's in your name?
