Say My Name

Say My Name

My name speaks for itself
It needs no explanation
Variations ranging from Christine
To Christina and Kristen
To Kirsty, Christy and Kristian

Onward Christian Soldiers
is probably our marching music
But we prefer to be low key
Choosing a more passive way
Our directions not rubric

You can guess the origin
But itโ€™s more interesting to learn
We have dissatisfaction
For being governed by tradition
For travel and adventure we yearn

We like harmony and balance
Respond positively to beautiful things
We are muses and someone
who can change your life
With Christine you can do anything

    I especially like this line…”We have dissatisfaction
    For being governed by tradition”. An admirable trait, in my opinion.

    I believe it! All the Christine’s I’ve known, I’ve admired for their independent mindedness and self-assurance.
