It was— after all No more Than the picture of a girl We never saw before Or ever will I’m sure There’s more than a few Of those around It was because She seemed to feel As well the time would come When all there’d be For us to see Was that silence In her eyes |

John, this is absolutely haunting.... I'm starting a list like yours, and this poem....if it's ok for me to include it, I'd like to. I can't believe I nearly missed this. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Ed, I'm so glad you read this . . . The story doesn't end. I was able, by good fortune and just dumb luck, (I was actually outbid but by someone that proved less than able), to purchase the portrait. I've sent a file with its picture to Mike and with his help hope to post it for you and others to see. Yes, please do include it in your file; she who it speaks of deserves that. Again, I am so glad you read and like her poem. John |

She is a beautiful lady, John, and your poem is an excellent compliment to her... |

She's precisely as I pictured her, reading your poem....and looking into those eyes now, I feel as if I know her life story. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

An artist caught her beauty with the brush and another artist expressed it with the pen. Very beautiful. Love, Margherita |

Before I saw the picture, I saw her through your words... your pen portrayed her perfectly. |
