Poetic-Verses
'' You Will Make Them Proud ''
What's in a title you may well ask,
think carefully before you name,
a nom de plume is akin to a mask,
it can be beautiful or it can maim.
When you're naming a child be wary,
what you call them is theirs for life,
some names given can be scary,
remarks made can cut like a knife.
A name can be like an open wound,
inside and out it can fester,
if you give them a title that is finely tuned,
they will not become the court jester.
You may well think you don't really care,
it's your child you can do what you want,
they have to live with it so please be aware,
your decision could come back to haunt.
When they mature and grow older,
if in their name they feel ashamed,
their attitude to you will grow colder,
it will be you who is blamed.
Some human beings can be very cruel,
to abuse they'll use any excuse,
don't let your child be made feel a fool,
name them wisely lest they suffer abuse.
Just like in poetry a title can rhyme,
so make sure you give that some thought,
some names given should be classed as a crime,
your child could well end up distraught.
I tell you this story as a warning,
my mother entitled me jock,
all the names I'm now adorning,
have placed me in a state of shock.
You love your child so try to be kind,
that title on them you've endowed,
will be theirs forever keep that in mind,
choose wisely,
