5399 Mother of Naomi 14 May 2006 She was Libra’s child in all her beauty to name A woman of hazel eyes in wonder to proclaim Her heart of kindness her faith forth to endure A mother in all of caption so pure Mother of Naomi her voice of Sierra Sunshine in state memories to share Libra’s child, a sign of the scales This woman of kindness her heart across a globe to bare Libra the seventh Sign of the Zodiac (The Scales - 24 September to 23 October) is the only inanimate sign of the zodiac, all the others representing either humans or animals. Libra (Latin for balance) is a constellation of the zodiac. The great strength of the Libra-born is their quest for fairness, peace and harmony. The girl's name Naomi is pronounced ‘nay-OH-mee’. It is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is “pleasant.” Biblical: an ancestress of Jesus and mother-in-law to Ruth, who after her sons died, said, “. . ., Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.”, (Ruth 1:20 KJV) Mara is a name given to Naomi by herself, which means ‘bitter’, or ‘very sad.’ The name came into English-speaking use in the 18th century. Noémi (no-AY-mee) is the Spanish form. The girl's name Sierra is pronounced ‘see-ERR-ah’. It is of Spanish origin, and a sierra is a word from the Spanish language meaning a mountain range. The word literally means “saw”. It is used for various mountain ranges in Spanish-speaking or formerly Spanish-speaking countries. The Sierra Nevada is a mountain range in the eastern portion of the U.S.A state of California. The range is also known as The Sierra or The Sierras. © 2006 Christopher W Herbert (a New Zealand Poet) a poet who cares |
