HER NAME WAS ROSE:


She once had her name, such a long time ago,

She lost it in pasts, upon the winds that blow,

When she wed she became “The wife” & “Dear”,

By her husband´s side, she stayed always so near.

 

She once had her name, now so lost on life´s path,

Foregoing her dancing, for the warmth of the hearth,

With birth of new babies, Mama became her name,

Knowing that her life would now, never be the same.

 

She once had her name, now buried under the past,

Leaving her wondering, where all time went so fast,

Now as the grandmother, she was known as just Nan,

Her old name felt forsaken, surely that wasn´t the plan.

 

Her identity within each name, changing with her age,

Dear wife, Mama or Gran, morphing with every stage,

Everyone calls her these names, yet nobody even knows,

She is her own person & her name has always been Rose.
