Jose
It means strong an outgoing
It is the number 20
It is like a being a big bon fire
It’s like going to the park with my family
It’s the memory of family
Who taught me strength and knowledge
Who taught me to be chill and have a good time
My name is pasted down from father to son and father to son
My uncle’s name is Jose
My great-grandfather’s name is Jose
Jose
It means hanging out on the porch
Jose
Going to parties and passing out on the couch
Jose
Making recreational explosives and setting them off for the 4th of July
Beautiful colors flying threw the sky 
Red blue and green dancing in the vivid dark night
Jose
Like a fire in the darkness
Like a plane in the sky
Like the freedom of the ocean
Like a jungle full of joy
Succulent like a roasted Puerco
Strong like a silver back
Slimmer then a Mac 
Agile like cat
Faster then a bat 
Jose
It means to love yourself and love one another

  9. I like the stanzas where you give similes to your name. They're all cool comparisons.
