Poems - By name

By name

by jadia4708au

I am called Hasmukh* by name
Exactly to be understood as smiling man and to claim
I feel no shy in explaining self to all
As many friends ask and make frequent calls

Why you are not named crying person?
Some friends jokingly asked for reasons
“No, parents decided it” I used to answer
They were my custodian and after all mentor

There is tradition to name a child with meaningful name
Some times they may be so funny and exactly opposite to claim
Child may be named as chand*(moon) but to be as dark as black
Some people may call him as dark night and cut a simple joke

Some parents may be really poor but keep name as Sukhi*(happy)
In fact they may have no meals to eat and living in misery
Yet it is strange to name every child with good bearing
It is done with all fun fare and without cause of worrying

There is nothing special in name but still stands good
Each person is known by name, position and surely understood
So this tradition, by and large, adds to person’s glory
“See person has proved to his name” people may exclaim and attach story

What is left behind when you depart?
Name, statue, palaces or golden cart
Nothing will accompany you at the end
Some memory to be remembered by family and friends

• hasmukh … name…
• Chand ….. Moon
