My name is a lei
given by my family
with aloha, unconditional love,
that honors my ancestors
and unifies the diversity that exists
in the singularity of me.
My name is my protection
a tried shield and a true spear
against ill wishes and evil eyes,
my North Star shining in the world's dark
constantly guiding me
through life's hardships
and revealing the way home.
My name is my power.
My name is my
history
legacy
destiny
identity
my name is mine
to give to whom I will.
