What is the Sweetest Name?

This is one of the sweetest little poems I have ever read.


The baby has no name yet.
As a poor newborn chick or
puppy has no name.
The baby,to, has no name, yet.
At dawn, in the night, in the
twilight of evening,
I searched and searched again
 through countless writings,
but there was nothing sweet enough
To call the baby.
The baby has no name, yet.
I do not know the name of the
blue bird, the white flowers
Sent here for the first time from
a far distant land.
Nor do I yet know the name of
my baby.
Kim Namjo
I'd love to give credit where credit is due---if I could!
