Thato

(Special dedication to my little first born baby)

They may call you by other names.
They may give all the names in the world,
But your name is the only one.

Your name is the only one from ancestors.
Your name is the only one from me.

Your name is Thato.
Your name has a natural say,
Your name has a natural cause,
And this name declares how you were born.

Your name is Thato, Goodwill (derived from God will).
You're The God will to be part of this world.
You were born during the time of trouble,
But He protected you all along.

You are God's strength and power to have you born alive,
'cause the wicked wished you dead.

You?'re daddy's heart desire,
You daddy's dream comes true.

Your name defines my possessiveness, my strength,
hope, and tolerance.
Your name describes our life experiences.
And your name is: T= tolerance (kgotlelelo)

H= hope ( Tshepo)

A= against (kgahlano le)

T= trouble(s) (mathata)

O= occurred (a tlolegilego)

You're daddy's heart desire,
You daddy's dream comes true.

Your name is the only one from ancestors,
And your name is the only one from me.
