Shira Bahia

I wear my name
like a favorite pair of jeans
like a cozy worn out sweatshirt
the essence of what it means

I strive with all my power
to live up to its grace
to embody its truth 
and to mirror its embrace

For I was given a name
both beautiful and strong
which tells tales and whispers melodies
Shira Bahia - a glorious poem or song
