what is a name
but a reflection
and part of who we are
a name means something
to the namer
and to the named
I am touched
every time
you say Mojirayo
because
it feels like
you see me
and understand
who I am
sometimes
even more
than I do myself
"I awoke to see joy"
is an acknowledgement
of my heart
and soul
mind
and
purpose
for
hoping
living
loving
shining
and even when
I feel sad
the name you have given me
reminds me
to lift myself up
and FIND joy
to wake myself up
and SEE joy
EVERY DAY
to live my life
and BE joy
ALWAYS
thank you
