Names are little labels that We paste upon a sea. Are Jack and Jill and Pat and Bill Really you and me? You may be Ruth or Jennifer Or Ghali or Ahmed, But you are more, much more than any Word that might be said. You are the moon and stars, the Earth, The Universe, and more. You dance across eternities And sail beyond all shores. You have within you all that is And that shall ever be. And yet you also are, of course, Reiko, Ralph, and Bree.
