Matt is to Matthew

Matt is to Matthew
What John is to Johann,
So be cool and casual
When dealing with a name;
Don’t concern yourself with fame.
That will come if it is due
Despite anything you may do.
Let your name be made by your deeds
Not the pursuit of your egoist needs.
It’s His name you must lift
Lest you get caught in a drift
Trying to find your way out
After searching for your own clout.
