woman

Hector Cardenas Alvarez 1955 (Chavinda)

March 23 
I don't know

If I should aspire to be with you
or, be like you

Angel of Heaven...Angel Devine!

May beauty always surround you
And reflect you

And, in your spirit
A place for the Devine!

In this Heaven
That would be hell without you
Even in mind!
