Bless you for reading the poem and the replies. How very sweet you are, Kim. Maria, the song, from West side Story, always makes me cry. " say it soft, and it's almost like praying" That song is my daughter.Thanks for mention us W'S Story. One of my FAV movies. Try to see Blacck Orpheus on You Tube. Very poetic. About love and death....Panagiota xxx

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
