Names
We try to remember names
we struggle to pronounce some names
we come up with names for our children
some women have hyphenated names
we name the date
we name our pets
we name places In Memory Of
sometimes we use
the name of God in vain
then we sometimes call each other names
which is worst use of all for a name
call me by name but please
do not call me names
sticks and stones may break my bones
but names dwell in the heart forever.

I name this as a very good poem.
