My Friend Constance La France

My friend Constance La France

 Creativity
 One of her best attributes
 Native American
 She finds strength in her Ojibwa roots
 Tragedy
 At a young age, she came to know it
 Nothing
 Could change the fact she is a poet
 Expressive

“Life is a journey full of moments-of struggle 
                for a poet the gathering of emotions”
  And “the penning of poems will one day crumble,
                of words that crash together like waves in oceans”

  Family
  Relationships, support, a reminder of home 
 "Again and again each day a new poem"
  New beginnings, a second chance
  Constance La France
  Excellence

Quote from Life is Tragic,
 "again and again each day a new poem" quote by Constance La France

I had a good time writing it and reading so many of her poems. She has quite a few about the Ojibwa that are very good. I learn new things on here every day as well. Nice to meet you. Evelyn
