nicely put, she had a dream life every girl would want, yet it wasn't enough.

If only she had just lived as Norma Jean....I wonder what her life may have been. A thoughtful poem, Brian. ~ Carrie

This is a beautiful tribute to her, Brian. Although she passed away a few months before I was born, her tragic story has always touched my heart. This made me think of Sir Eltons' beautiful tribute "Candle in the Wind". Love, Robin
