Matthew
In Hebrew it means “Gift of God.”
In Spanish it means people can call me “Teo.”
Any way they say it
It empowers me to embrace
The feelings I get make me feel like a king.
When they accept me as a person
With a name, with a family
With a life
I am happy to know that
They love me not by my face but by my name.
I am powered to start a life with a name like Matthew.
God started with a Matthew
And left me to continue the legacy.
My name means a lot to me but
It means only one thing now.
I have a journey called life
But it is not a normal quest in search of happiness.
It is one that I can on with saying
That my name is MATTHEW.
I am proud to say that
My name is what I am, and
My name is what I live for
I AM MATTHEW!
