Notes About The Poem

Twisted from Barry Manilow's song- "Mandy" R.I.P. "Pangie" 

Oh Pangie

We remember her through poetry life 
When rain comes down as cold as ice 
Shadows of her still, her face through a window 
We're crying in the night, you're no longer a widow
Oh, Pangie

The night goes into morning, just another day 
Yesterday's a dream, we face the morning 
Crying on a breeze, the pain is calling 
Oh, Pangie

She stood there on the edge of time 
This poet was a friend of yours and mine 
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing 
The tears are in our minds, and nothing is rhyming 
Oh, Pangie 

The night goes into morning, just another day 
Happy people pass our way 
We look into their eyes, we see a memory 
We never realized, how happy she made us 
Oh. Pangie

We miss you; our hearts are all breaking
You just flew away 
Oh, Pangie
 
Well, you came and you wrote without taking 
And we're mourning today 
Oh, Pangie

*Dedicated to the late and wonderful "Panagiota Ramios- Pangie"

Beautiful Charles. She will be missed for sure. I have had a hard time with this loss, she was a spicy, saucy, lovable sweetheart. Rest in peace Pangie.
