Mojirayo

{Post: 30/365}

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
