Forgotten Poems #80
These are lovely. I especially like:
"But beauty lurks for me in black, knotted hands,
Hands consecrated to toil that those who come
Behind them may have tender, shapely hands;
And beautiful are shoulders with bearing
heavy burdens stooped
That younger shoulders may grow straight
and proud."
Your tribute poem is gorgeous.
Ohhh yeah, that's such a great moment Margaret - completely agree! Aw thanks so much! Really appreciate your kind words. I pushed letters around on the page for a while till this one emerged. As always, glad I kept pushing. :-)
