What’s in a Name?

Missing image
Chosen letters given to me
From my Mum and my dad
When I was just wee

They picked them with love
And gave them to me
Hoping to see them in lights up above

Now I’ve had them for ages
And remember them too
It even gets printed when I’m paid my wages

It’s a thing I hold dearly
Means the world to me too
That’s why when I type it’s written so clearly

I have nothing to hide
Or a form to make up
I just use it daily and I use it with pride

Now sometimes it is hidden in contests you hold
But that’s just a chance
For me to win gold

You can see it if clever and know who I am
It’s a name that is short
But belongs to a man

I will make comments wisely
Even funny at times
But at this precise moment can’t think of a rhyme

Ok, it’s a beauty
And it’s mine, yes all mine
And to finish it off, I post it in Chinese sign.

KE I SHOW ME

Martial arts play a major part in my life.
Just a small anagram I thought of.

    you know, I've never really thought of how my name is held with pride. I always say to myself that the name doesn't define the person - it's the person that defines the name. And you are right - I do hold my name with pride.

    Yes, oh Yes, brother dear..The story you tell of yourself is so perfectly clear! I see loving parents with joy in their infant son,and the destiny in their eyes to who you'd become! But more than that you have excelled far more than then what they knew...There is one talented loving man, Only one fabulously important YOU!

    Names are really fun to anangram--in fact, it's how i came to get my pen name-- ut I think the letters in yours all carry a beautiful identity, Mike, and strength of character. Thank you for the smiles in this poem. ~ Karen
