Family of Names

 

Uncanny each name

Coincidentally woven together,

When Butler is entrusted

To serve wine in all weather.

 

It is Henry who will rule,

His home with all might,

Anointing Riaan the little king

In his own true right.

 

Whereas Ann brings balance

Being ever so gracious,

Elize upholds God’s oath

No matter how audacious.

 

The defender is Devon

Who boldly all alone,

Also known as Peter,

Portrays the strength of stone.

 

Our castle belongs to Rory

The red king of old,

Whose bright mind and spirit

Makes Hugh ever so bold.
