A father told a child when small
A name is a special blessing
It signifies a ray of light
from where? there is no telling.
Children are named by the parents
Who think of themselves, when they choose.
If the child likes it, while it is growing
How lucky it is for a few.
When small, some like bubbles, or billy,
When grown, then the name is more sane,
It gains now a little acceptance
When the meaning is told them by peers.
They say,"what really is in a name " ?
A treasure trove of wealth,
Of flowers, plants, planets, and colours,
All sweet things, to make the heart melt.
The coldest of hearts in the winter
With it's perfume, it's shape, and it's name
When God gave us so many reasons
To name women, rosebud or plain jane.
God tells us to look for the pearl of great price
To be found in the heart of us all.
Maybe when the time comes to find it,
The name,,,,margaret,,,,,the meaning,,,,,a pearl.
