I don't have a name,
No one gave me one.
They call me Nameless.
Being like that I’ve seen many things,
That are Nameless, too.

The girl was water, in the river banks,
The sun was a glowing flower, on the cloudy plains,
The grass was a ribbon of softness woven into the earth.
And  she was a girl that’s nameless-
Nameless-Nameless-
She was a girl who is nameless in this world named Earth.

She wore dirty rags on her body, and a ribbon in her hair.
Her hands were one with the ground, covered with dirt from work,
Her feet were filled with sharp pain from the rocky road.
She owned nothing but the ribbon,
Ribbon- Ribbon-
But the Ribbon was all hers.

The girl was sunshine, in this world full of grey,
The sky was like a sea, full of cotton-like boats,
The water was a kind aunt, trickling-tickling in her banks.
And the girl loved this nature-
Nature-Nature-
And the girl loved this nature, because that was her only family in the world.

Her hands were like cut strings, weak and feeble,
Her hair was a bundle of hay, long and split,
Her walk was hard and heavy, but solid and real, full of heart.
She was a girl who is lonely-
Lonely-Lonely-
The lonely girl without a friend.

The girl was a survivor, who endured the world,
The girl was a bee, working arduously,
The trees were full of fruit, giving life to the earth.
Giving everything life-
Life-Life-
Though the girl didn’t take anything, there was life in everything.

Even though her stomach growled and was hurt,
She didn’t take a thing from the mothering trees,
And the world gave her life, as if to thank for her kindness.
She lived without a sin, like and angel-
Angel-Angel-
She lived like an angel, keeping the world safe.

The trees kindly asked her to take their fruit,
The bushes laid their berries at her feet,
The rivers gave her water in the kindest sense.
The world made her safe for a purpose,
Purpose- Purpose
The world saved her for a purpose, she was the only one.

The girl has never taken lives, instead she has given,
The girl saved many souls, as if she were a Saint ,
The girl, she was a brightly star, in this universe full of Kings.
The girl gave a twinkle-
A bright-full twinkle,
She was the only twinkle, who was guilt-free.

She felt something tingle, her heart had a thought:

Why am I nameless?
Why do I have no name?
Maybe I’m special,
Like it’s meant to be,
I’ve named everything I found that was new to the world.
Maybe…
But, now, the girl does have a name, a brilliant name,
Her face is now shining, making the world brighter,
Her clothing is jeweled, with truth  and believing.
She is no longer nameless-
Nameless-Nameless-
She realized this now, her name is Naming.
