Barbara Gorelick Poet Quatrain

Hidden Beauty

She was plain of face and form
Someone noticed by very few
Of quiet voice and few words
Inner beauty hidden from view

A tender heart so full of love
Her soul as pure as driven snow
My mother, with work worn hands
As beautiful as anyone I know

Emile Pinet January 21, 2015 at 2:17 PM I believe that a mother/daughter bond has no match in the human equation. The love that you have for her is remarkable and so self evident in this poem. Emile. #7 Barbara Gorelick February 4, 2015 at 12:27 PM thank you Emile, glad; you have joined us here on the soup...Barbara
