Her name is LeiNah;
Pronounce Lena;
She is granddaughter of;
James Edward Lee Sr.
Today’s her birthday;
Oh, No she’s not latina;
But she’s a big dreamer;
A little princess, not a queen though;
She likes singing so;
Maybe she’ll be another Albertina Walker;
A Maya Angelou;
Jamie Grace, or just Aretha Franklin;
Today’s her birthday;
Not her brothers
He’s 2 his birthday next month;
Yes, sometime in March
Her name is LeiNah;
No not , Gina, , Jenamina, Neenah, Ngina, Nina
She’ll frown better git it right
Her name is LeiNah;
Not treena, trina,
Leanna, Kinah, Leana, Pina, Queena,
Even though she has an Aunt named Carprina,
Her name not Shina, Tina,
Call her LeiNah, cuz her mama named her LeiNah
Pronounced “ LEna ” like Lena Horn;
LeiNah her name cuz her Mama says so…
Happy 5th birthday LeiNah Williams

How many names have you been called?
Angel, Angelic Angela all off them.
You've probably already been called
Leana? Hanna, anna?
I forgot where I was at
Lowen is not an easy one to be either
is that Either or aye-there?
Loren? Logan? Julian?
Lindsay Lowen is one of my favorites
monika lowinsky is great,
I love going down
and being Polish
or polished
or infamous
or famous
(yeah right!)
but I digress
I'm sorry, thank you.
