Maria in Paradise

Don't even ask. We have her and we are not giving her back!

Sending an "Adios Muchachos" to All Who Would Recall Her from Paradise!

 

Returning Always to Her Important Work

 

And Greeted Even the Volcanos with Great Joy

 

But She Found Even Greater Natural Beauty, Even In a Lava Flow

 

And to Inspect Their Crafts

 

Maria Took Time to Sample the Work of Local Artists

 

And Parents Raised Their Children High to See Her

 

While Families Sang Her Praises

 

And Were Drawn to Her

 

Children Were Inspired by her Example

 

But Maria Fought On!

 

Others Took an Easier Path

 

And Set Out for Battle!

 

And a Light Heart

 

She Mounted Her Stead with a Serious Purpose

 

But Even as the Dawn Began to Break

 

Even the Neighbors Took Note of Her Arrival

 

While Others Looked on With Dread

 

She Inspected Her Domain

 

And Flags Waved in the Breeze

 

There Were Rainbows When She Arrived
