Devotedly Intense

How can this be? I searched the meaning of
my name and, to my great surprise, I find
some things seem so familiar with the love
of what's important in my heart and mind.

Devotedly intense and known for grace-
   this name says she creates unique ideas.
Productive goals fill up her time and space,
   and sweet rewards abound over the years.

She loves to learn and is inquisitive,
   and people like her altruistic heart.
Yet she must mind her want to do and give
   does not become one's 'take for granted art'.

Creatively outgoing, made to share
   and be respected- valued by her friends
for the accomplishments that she can pair
   with inborn talents she with love attends.

These traits appear beneath my given name;
somehow I feel for me, they are the same.
