Daughter Tribute

MARIA


      M is for Moral, governed by ethics.
     
      A is for Alluring, she draws people near.

      R is for Ravishing, Hellenic beauty so clear.

      I is for Integrity, your dedication to Truth is always here

      A is for Able, in each and every task you do.


     ~And, I as your Mother, am so proud of you~
  
         Merry Christmas, Maria!  Love, Mom

I sent it to her and she was at work. She's extremely busy, Caren, and has not seen it, I do not think. I sent her a thing, I made on line called, "Maria, My Star" and that made her cry. Thank you Caren. Panagiota xxx

Andrea...I remember we both used Maria because of West Side Story and that song Maria. That song outdoes all poetry for me. And also.. " there's a time for us." lovely. Yes, I am proud of her, indeed. Panagiota xxx

Ah, Line, dear friend! I am proud of her. She is such a compassionate woman. Has risen to the top on her own. Paid her way through college, married a great man and raing a son who is very much like her. Ambitious and loving to all.NO..is not in her vocabulary. She gives way more than she receives... Thanks Line. Panagiota xxx
