6 Yards Saree

By Divya G Prasad

She is beautiful, isn't she? But, who is she? 

Inside of the 6 yards Saree, 

Is a mom. 

She gently tucks her sorrows by a corner.

Swings a big hug around her loved ones.

Fleets her day's priorities, nicely planted.

She wraps a ton of responsibilities on her shoulder. 

Pinning a brave trait on her heart's side.

She adjusts her attire for her family.

And then, she is told, 

You are beautiful. 

Yes, she is beautiful. 

Not because of the saree, not because of outer beauty. 

Remember, inside of the 6 yards Saree, 

Is a mom.
