My Name

My name is Leanna.
Inherited from Grandma Anna.
It is an old English name
Without much fame.
It is pronounced "Lee-Ann-Uh",
But most see it as "Lee-Ahh-Nah".
Sometimes shortened to Leanne,
Which is not my biggest fan.
My family calls me Lee;
But that is okay because it fits me.
One meaning is "lioness",
Which I often get compared to.
Another is "a beautiful women"
And that is definition two.
I have blue eyes and brown hair;
I can be as sweet as honey,
And I often share.

My middle name is Victoria
Which comes from the British Queen Victoria.
The meaning is victory,
But all this is history.
We are alike in the same way,
By wanting to be
The "Queen Bee",
And have people listen to what we say.

My last name is Torres
It came from a time way before us.
A tropical potion,
From across the Antlantic Ocean.
That is the key,
to explain parts of me.
Therefore, I will be,
The best Leanna Victoria Torres I can be.
