New Name

I was ‘Sister’ once upon a time,

Today for the same little ones, I’m ‘Aunty’,

Those who called me by my name,

Suddenly, change their ways.

I am no longer a young girl they say,

But now a married woman,

Overnight, a new name, a new life,

New responsibilities I shoulder, time to time.

Do you recall that I was born here?

That this is my home too?

Though I now live in another.

Why do I forget my old life to carve a new one?

Why has my identity changed?

Really does a person change with a new name?

Or is it the relationships?
