What's in a name

From birth a name
Is given unto thee
Holds a star
Of a person
You'll become one day

What's in a name?
How does it own you?

Perhaps a nick name
Is given unto thee
Holds a gem
Of a person
You wish to be

What's in a name?
How does it shape you?

Unique out the ordinary
Is given unto thee
Holds a diamond
In the rough
For some day to shine

What's in a name
How does it define you?

History of family
Is given unto thee
Brought down centuries
Of a powerful lineage
For you to be proud



Meaning of my name - The name Charlotte is of German , English and French origin.
The meaning of Charlotte is "free man, strong".

It is a family name and one I am proud to walk around with!

From the heart
Char
