Given To A Name

When we are born from our mothers
We leave her name
And become our own

She opens us up to the world
and drops us into our unique arrangement
of vowels and consonants
Specially arranged for us
And binded togther by her
Love and intentions

My mother called me
Jasmine Casandra Christian
so that I would be
Wise and Beautiful
and always remember
that I was God's child

So that i would know that
My intuition always has worth,
Even when the world
Would close it's ears to me
And make me feel alone
and unwanted

While you are with me
You will be known as mine
My child
My baby
My wish
Until i bear you
into your own name

I have woven you
Your identity
for 9 months
A name
to hold you,
inspire and protect you

A name to remind you
of my aspirations for you
My belief in your worth and
My unconditional love

I will give you to
Akasha
When you leave
the protection of my womb
Because Akasha is everything
and everything is what i wish to give to you

Akasha is the air I breath,
-may everything you intake be pure
Akasha is everywhere,
-so you will never be alone
Akasha is time and space,
-so you will be welcomed
anywhere life takes you
Akasha is the force behind every song
every word, every cry and
every praise,
-So you will resound from
every corner of the earth
and I will hear you
when you are no longer with me

I will give you
Life and
A name to make you strong
For I will die one day but
Akasha
Will always be with you

As long as you are Akasha,
-and you always will be-
You will always know that
I love you
