Monterey Sirak November 3, 2013 at 8:45 AM Lovely poem. The lady herself would be proud to read these words dedicated to her. Michael Ainsley August 23, 2016 at 9:54 PM Emily said if one poem she wrote helped one person then her writing would not have been in vain . The same is true with and I'll bet Monterrey.
