A Name

A Family's Heritage

By Cynthia Frazier-ParlerPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

What's in a name, only families know,

What's in a name, the love that parents show,

What's in a name, is a treasure to keep,

What's in a name, runs river deep...

What's in a name, when it becomes obsolete,

What's in a name, when you chose to delete,

What's in a name, had intentions for you,

What's in a name, has sentimental value...

What's in a name, don't ever give away,

What's in a name, was meant to stay,

What's in a name, was your heritage

What's in a name, can no longer be used to your

advantage,

What's in a name, is what descendants uplift,

What's in a name, is an inherited, powerful gift!
