NaPoWriMo Day 14 Prompt:

Today, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem that delves into the meaning of your first or last name.

Here’s an analysis of my name 🙂

Poem: Do you say my name?

When your world is tumbling down

And you are seething in pain

That’s when you say my name

–

When you want something done

And there’s no other option

That’s when you say my name

–

When you are losing all hope

And you look up to Him

That’s when you say my name

–

When your belief is shaking

And your mind cannot commit

That’s when you say my name

–

When someone you love

Is wrestling to live

That’s when you say my name

–

When fear surrounds your realm

And all you can do is scream

That’s when you say my name

–

When obscurity is all you see

The way last year has been

That’s when you say my name

–

When there’s nothing left to dream

And all you think is Thee

That’s when you say my name

–

A prayer,

That’s what my folks call me,

That’s what my name means

–

A request, an appeal

When you worship or plea

That’s what my name means

–

My name gives you strength,

My name possesses optimism,

My name is devotion!
