Il Tesoro Di Maria
Before my oldest and prittiest sister died at fifty-three,
her romace stories bewildered me!
Barely eighteen, she wrote , " Ortensia. "
a beautiful and sad love story
of a Neapolitan girl who fell in love
with Mario a guy much older that she was;
more manuscripts she hid in her treasure throve
and she called it, " Il Tesoro Di Maria. "
She never mentioned it, I found it behind old books.
Ah, the memories of the late sixties immensely intensify:
when I open the pages of that book and she's there beside me,
but surprise and joy are the emotions that make me cry!
