WHAT IS IN A NAME?
I KNOW ALL YOU REALLY WANTED TO DO IS HELP
From the day I was born I was called a name
I had no choice and I have had to live with that name my whole life
Lucky for me I love my name
How would things be different if I didn't love my name?
Would I be the same ?
Would I be the person who I am today if my name was Gay?
How would I struggle with each and every day?
Would people come up to me and cheer me on for the person who I am?
Does a name really mean that much?
What if my name was Glory?
Would I stand tall and create greatness from everything
What if my name was Small
Would I stand tall or constantly be pushed against the wall
What if my name was Sin?
Would I be doomed from the first day and always wonder who am I deep within?
What if my name was God?
Could I live up to such a name?
Would I be all that he has proclaimed
If I only had a common name like Mary,John or Jim
I could walk quietly and not be noticed
What if my name was Spam?
Would I willfully cause havoc and destruction with every breath I take
Would I fight the world and all it's problems
Can I live up to my name ?
My name happens to be Michael or what people like to call me Mike
I grew up with Mikey likes it
T.V. had given me instant fame
Maybe it doesn't matter who we are and what name we are given
We have a right to be who we want to be each time we speak
Lets give us a new name
One of Determination and Persistance
One of Respect and Loving Loyalty
From this day forward
Lets be all we want to be
Let people remember your name
Listen to people talk and say who was she?
I couldn't believe he did that?
People will talk and we will give them lots to talk about
Hold your head high and take a bow
For that is a bow for you and only you deserve it
You make people stop and think and wonder
What is in a name?
I wish I had that name Thunder
To make you wonder
Whether I will roar and scare hearts tender or bring closer two souls
In an embrace like burning coals!!

Interesting question - What's in a name? I wonder, if you were named Sunshine instead of Thor how different would you be?
I am back for another read, heck look at all the names i have been on here. Now i am Joy, my mum's name. May change it again, but i will leave my work up this time. How are you.
That was really great! I've never really thought about names that way before. Great hub!
its cool hub, and intresting writing
cool! i like the name 'Thunder' too. that could come in handy every once in a while ;)
very pretty hub.
well i did not leave for long did i...... i used to throw in the towel with lots of things, but hub pages is worth fighting for, as it connects me with great people......
i sleep all night....... talking is good it gets things of your chest
exactly....... i love working but prefer the morning shift, as i get too settled when i stay in chatting with friends all morning......
i know sad aint it..... if we ring in sick they make us stay off the two days after and lose all money ..... sad or what>>>>>>> yellow roses are ace,
yeah roses are always well received.
i will tell them a very close friend of mine sends kindest regards, i am in work at 2 so have to leave soon.
i really do have to go as i have to go to work, i do understand you honestly...... just joking i think you mentioned stirring pots once, just a gentle reminder of that comment. I hope we can take up this conversation again, i may be around just for 10 mins or so.... i don't often talk about myself, sometimes it is hard,
oh no i know i dont need to please you, i think someone somewhere is stirring pots,,,,,, i am going,,,
