In Love with the Face

 
A face peeks through the torn curtain---
fresh as spring's first flower,
eyes blazing like first love, locked in that face!
Her hands are like maps of scars!
Looking at them, you'd think she's been cutting vegetables for a hundred years!
Washing dishes, scrubbing clothes, mopping floors.........you can tell.
Her hands are at least two and a half times older than her face!


When you fall for such a face, why can't you hold those hands?
