An Italian movie goddess,
Born illegitimate and poor,
She grew up into a sensational beauty,
A contest would open another door.
She encountered movie mogul, Carlo Ponti,
He directed her career with great dedication,
She became a dedicated actress and the toast of Hollywood,
The media, followed her every move in excited anticipation.
Men desired her,
Cary Grant and Carlo Ponti adored her with passionate emotion,
Carlo, won the battle for her heart,
She loved, respected and cared for him with devotion.
Her career intact, but her life was empty,
She craved for children of her own,
Endless miscarriages she did suffer,
She gave birth to her beloved children in protected isolation, alone.
The years went on,
Her career declined,
The taxman was on her trail,
She paid for unpaid taxes with dignity,
She served a short spell in jail.
A champion of humanitarian causes,
She grows more beautiful and sensual with time,
No one can ever rival the legend that is Sophia Loren,
An Italian beauty, so perfect and divine.
