Analysis of Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder!!!
There she walked in again at our house
As always I wanted to vanish like a mouse
Scared my expressions would give in
Crossed my fingers, forgiveness for my sin
Mother was kind and very bountiful
Mother always told her, she was beautiful
From no angle did I find her so
My mother noticed and would not let it go
She asked me about my apprehension
Why was she beyond my appreciation
I was taken aback and was speechless
Head bowed I stood motionless
Mother told me about her education
Even about her sacrifices and affection
How hardworking and sincere she was
Always benevolent, working for right cause
She loved and served her sick mother
No one else in the family had to bother
Her mother-in-law was ill and bedridden
Nursed well, her own hobbies forgotten
I suddenly realized my mistake
The opinion formed had to forsake
She had empathy for people
Was it so very simple?
The clouds of apprehension disappeared
A new class of beauty she pioneered
Lo!! " You are very beautiful "" told her
Beauy lies in the eyes of the beholder!!
Beauty is skin deep - for this realization
Thanks to mother - who taught this lesson
