A Boy Is Named

A name is a gift,
given, for a life.
A name connotes.
It holds Reference.
High Aspiration.
Independence.
A name is for ever.
A name seals fates,
when it’s ‘Winner’ and ‘Loser’.
How unjustifiably,
twin boys were named.
A boy is named,
in trying times.
As a reference,
to his father’s illness,
his medical care,
his recovery.
That boy is concluded.
Serves to remind.
“My namesake saved my dad.”
How narcissistically,
a boy is named.
