With our without an h?
a question I have heard too many times.
I guess it is just a perk,
a benefit of having the name Sarah.
As far as I know,
I am not named after anyone specific,
there was no great inspiration for my name.
I guess that is the way I like it though.
It makes Sarah my own name,
no fantastic stories or grand legends to live up to.
But that gives me a chance, a chance
to create my own stories, my own legends,
things to tell my children, my friends, my family.
But with this name, there does come one thing,
something I hear all too often.
A song with my name, two actually,
that simply say the same thing,
'Sarah Smiles'
The name is no stranger to me, I know it incredibly well.
I expect the 'h' question, and never surprised
when someone sings about me smiling.
I will never change my name, never abandon Sarah.
Because no other name will ever fit me quite as well.
Best for last !

DeleteReally good I liked how it was different and there was like no specific meaning or traditional meaning its all like a book with empty pages that you yourself get to make
ReplyDeleteI liked your poem a lot because you incorporated your feelings into it and how you would create your very own story.

I like how you said you could make your own legends and referenced the song Sarah Smiles.
ReplyDeleteI liked how you made the references to the songs about your name and the different ways it could be spelt. I don't think you should abandon your name Sarah either, good job.
