Identity

pen name contest....

 

 

My eyes are but a reflection of the man
whose name I carry deep
His heritage is Ireland
his heart within I keep

Humanitarian he's been claimed
the man whose back was bare
he gave the last shirt he had
because for all he cared

His blood runs in my veins
and his heart beats in my chest
his words run through my mind
the role of father he played best

Davis of the Sampson clan
his name a priceless treasure
a gift he gave at birth to me
my penname now my pleasure

The ring upon my finger now
speaks of a different name
a piece of paper now holds claim
but my penname speaks my fame

No man will ever own me now
a promise I gave back then
to a man who stole my heart
at birth yet way back when

My penname is my family crest
much more precious than gold
Davis is my treasure chest
and forever the name I’ll hold.

That is beautiful and touching... the bloodline is certainly a wonderful place to get your pen name... it give a wonderful tribute to your heritage as well. Now i can see why your such a spitfire :-)

A Welsh name in Ireland. In Wales they have a habit of putting the persons profession after the name so we have Jones the Meat for a butcher, Davis the fish for a fisherman. You are Davis the right write. Powerful beauty.
