From behind the veil of woman there are
eyes that rarely miss the smile of a child
ears that hear the babies cry in the quiet of the night
a touch that can sooth a skinned knee.
From behind this veil that covers abuses imposed
because of her gender, because of her status
lies the future of a nation, the world.
lastly, from behind that veil that isolates her
comes the gentleness and grace, that is woman,
which can not,
be hidden by any veil no matter how dark .
excellent Sandi...
