So many of you beautiful ladies at AD have been my readers and encouragers, even when I am absent for long periods of time. I am writing a collection of poems that are dedicated to you. These are my gifts to you, not only for your support but in tribute to the unique and wonderful woman each of your are. This one is for Lady Liana Margiva

GREATNESS

For Lady Liana Margiva

she is old world charm and timeless beauty
bubbling fountain of love, deep well of sorrow
her pen dipped in the colorful wisdom of life
her soul immersed in the art of expression
encourager to many, example to all of what
it means to suffer and endure, not allowing
her spirit to be hardened by harsh realities
her eyes speak unspoken words of passion
sealed away in the jeweled cache of time
where youth remains unchanged eternally
and her beauty will shine for generations
she is a woman of true greatness and grace
unique, unforgettable, a bright beacon of hope
for sailors lost in a raging sea of dark despair
and from her window she views the world
through eyes of forgiveness and love
