She doesnt wear the name I sign
Yet all I am begins with mine
Not carved in stone not writ in song
But carried soft and carried long
My surname echoes in the air
But shes the breath that put it there
She fed me dreams and stitched my frame
And never once asked for the fame
They ask me who I truly am
I answer with a gentle psalm:
I am the sum of all she gave
Her love my armor Her tears my brave
And if one day my name is praised
May hers be in its golden phrase
For every letter I may claim
She is the fire within my flame
