Ms. Appellation
Who am I?
Do you know me?
I do not know my name.
Grandpa stole our family name
on WWI's battlefield,
no one ever spelled it right.
My patients call me nurse.
1st husband gave me his name,
gave it to our son.
I became Mom.
I lost my middle name along the way.
My first name really belonged to my aunt.
2nd husband gave me another name,
gave it to our 2 boys.
Now, Hubby gives me his.
I am Mrs. so and so's Mother-in-Law.
For some reason I have yet to fathom,
my neighbor calls me Janet.
I answer to every name I've ever had,
and then some.

Ahhh...I beg to differ! You do know your name. You are Courage And Fortitude. Sometimes answering to the nicknames of Self-determining, Generous, Loving, Multi-faceted, Multi-talented and Strength!
What a great topic! It's so funny, I answer to a wide variety of names I never thought I would!
Fairscape!
We should be able to pick our own names like some native peoples.
I would be, breaks-much-wind.

there is a sense of hollow to it...good good, I know nothing about poetry, so i cannot judge you, but i'm impressed by your passion.
I am intrigued by this Grandpa stealing it, bit.
