My Mother, My Strength

You are no longer here, but live on in me. You who stood up for everyone, so fearless were you! Like George Bernard Shaw, who said: " You see things the way they are, and say, why? But I dream things that never were! And I ask why not? It was you, Mother who created the fearless soul in me! Becoming a poet who asks questions of life, poetry and reality, with fearless audacity! Love evermore, Panagiota 5/10/2019 12:00 pm PST

Hi..yes she was quite awesome. She made the world better for all. Not one to accept things as they are. Gratefully, Panagiotta
