Constance La France Poet Acrostic

Steadfastness

 
Snow should be my name in reality, but
this girl was named an old lady name-
everyone says, I have an old soul
and it is true for I am quite vintage;
dedicated to family and faithful to friends.
from a child I wept, oh, it is uncool, a mouthful,
and did I mention, I am from a frozen land-
such a regal, elegant name, so graceful, but
time taught me to love my name . . . 
now, I never sway, or relent, I endure
everyday I write my grief and pain in poems
sending them on the wings of birds , I am
steadfast with strength and serenity
