Sample:

    Sheila
    It means woman, gentle, blind,
    It is the number 124,
    It is like a reminiscence of Spring,
    It is Christm    astime,
    It is the memory of Julia Stump,
    Who taught me Stewardship and Love,
    When she worked hard to support me,
    My name is Sheila,
    It means I believe that time spent with family is the best time of my life.
