Namesake Poem by Ima Ryma

Namesake

You're due to be born any day,
And I, your Mom, am filled with joy.
Sadly, your Dad has passed away.
So whether you're a girl or boy,
For both of us I will give you
All my love and love from your Dad.
I have enough to give for two.
Now that he's gone, I do feel sad.
But I loved him and he loved me.
Often the two of us talked of
What your name was going to be.
Your Dad's name, Robert, I do love.

Very early this morn you came.
Welcome. Roberta is your name.
