What do you think this poem is about?

A Name

God is gracious
This is my name
But I have fallen from his graces
Though still
Even still
The label remains
I promised myself, so long ago
To make it my aim
To live up to it
What is your name
Behind the letters
And do you feel the same?

    Mark, your comment seriously made my day! Rumplestiltskin, that tiny little trouble maker who thought he was so clever. I think his name suits him well.

    What's in a name? Rumplestiltskin for example; I hear foreign names that sound funny, but what do they mean in their native tongue? Interesting thoughts, thanks,

    Mark Walters
