Her eyes are blank, <br />Clothes torn, ragged & patched <br />Beauty has taken renunciation long past; <br />She has no rank, <br />wizened and shrunken face- <br />Tells no story of glamor. <br />But she laughs <br />She smiles <br />She is a MOTHER! !<br /><br />Neela Nath<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mother-353/
