My Name

My name is Emma
It’s common enough
But names are deceptive
I’m made of tough stuff. 
I came into the world
On a thundery night 
Too early, so tiny
I needed to fight. 
Emma means ‘universe’
To others it’s ‘whole’
To me it’s identity
Born deep in my soul. 
My name is quite simple
Just four letters long
No complications
For others to get wrong
In German it’s ‘strong’ 
And the bible does tell
It’s means ‘god with us’
And from Emanuel.
