True Beauty
Mother's hands
On her infant's face
Soothing hurts
With cherishing grace
Righting wrongs
Back into place
Such loving acts
Are True Beauty
Lending a shoulder
On which to cry
Encouraging tots
To give one more try
Hugs when you don't
Have the answer why
Such loving acts
Are True Beauty
Pinning up hair
For the dance rehearsals
Playing the game
of mom/kid reversal
Balming the wounds
When gossip is personal
Such loving acts
Are True Beauty
Seeing her choose
Her life-long partner
Giving her up
At the wedding altar
Knowing your love
Shall never falter
Such eternal love
Is True Beauty
