Audrey

Lisa R. Strong
I wish I could be like Audrey Hepburn;
Enchanting beauty of cinema;
Immortalized in black and white;
Publicity photos and stills;
Queen of classic Hollywood glamour;
Blessed with talent;
And a heart made of gold;
Champion of the poor and hungry;
Lovely humanitarian;
Forever a legend;
Loved by millions;
She was my favorite;
And she today remains;
I still watch her wonderful films;
And they make me smile;
But what I want most of all;
Is to possess even a small fraction;
Of her compassion for others;
This is what I loved about her most.

    Zavier Junior, 3months old pup was put to death by a crime committing syndicate known for their malice. It has been the 6th time they have allegedly poisoned my dogs in a row.

    Police arrived to the crime site taking preparation for an on-line GD that we composed (GD Num:1019. dtd:22/5/2010.) Commencing for an autopsy in the Animal Hospital transferring to ICDDR,B (police’s own words). Within 4 days report would be affirmed....

    It was aired on T.V (Channel i) at 10:30pm.- A family of 3, making several GDs to the P.S was utterly useless for the Matabars in these hi-tech days has kept them in isolation from the society as an outcast trying to banish them from their own home ever since its contained by the clench of land grabbers, has done it again, besides poisoning their puppy.

    I am desperately awaiting for the doct

    Hello Mike! I was sure that you had only momentarily forgotten your "hedging" and "mitigating" techniques....

    Audrey Hepburn is everyone's good angel. Such a winsome personality on screen and in life. Some of her lighter immortal moments are in Fred Astaire's Funny Face (although I'm not sure I think she can sing...), like in, "Take the picture! Take the picture!" and "Like Anna Karenina?" and "It's not my dress..." it is, as you point out, the active participation in other people's lives that make the legend of Audrey Hepburn as deeply radiant as it is.
