Name Tattoos

I do not play favorites;

really, that is not how I roll.

Though, I must admit, there are always some students

that stay with me more than others.

This list will mean nothing to you,

it will only be what it is - a list of names.

To me, these names are stories;

each one taught me something about life,

made me think twice,

made me want to be a better mother,

or even just made me love a  little more.

Already, just three weeks into a new semester, 

and again, names are tattooing themselves into my mind.
