Grandpa calls you “Daughter” Uncle calls you “Sister”, I call you “Mom”.
Papa would call you “wife” – Mother, what is your name?
I went to school, then college but I didn’t need your name. Whenever I presented myself, no one asked for your name!
When I came of age by law and got the right to vote, there was no mention of your name on the card. I became a citizen, but with Dad’s name. I got a job, this too with dad’s name. I am the daughter of a nameless mother -Tell me, mother, what is your name?
I want to make it known to one and all, as your name never needed to be spoken anywhere. Please speak mother, what is your name?
