I have not lived all my life
My ma and pa at the birth
misnamed me
I always say poor Curtis Melton
Died at only three days old
I am often amazed in wondering what his life would have been like

What’s in a name - shall we ever know?
To explain further ... I was named Curtis Melton for three days until my parents decided to change it - one can still see on the certificate of birth where the name is erased and typed in again!
