More to her

Her eyes are beautiful

Her face is the most amazing

Her hair is long and flowing

Her smile is one that is desired by others

You would never know it 

You could never touch it

You could never see it

You can only hear her soft words

She keeps to herself

She never speaks unless spoken to

She always does as asked

Theres more to her

Theres a story in her eyes

Theres a spark in her smile

Theres color in her hair 

The feeling of feeling beautiful 

The stares don't matter to her

The way she feels free

The cloth says nothing about who she is

but you would never know it

she wears a Hijab

Brilliant theme. Excellent poem. I vociferously support this write. The societal norms, the obligations they have to go through is unimaginable. Yet they take it in their strides and move on. I think they are the strongest, bravest , fiercest women on earth. and you emphasized how it's easy to misunderstand them and not look beyond the veils. Oh, I loved this one.

ahh..this is brilliant - the hijab is such a controversial..but there is a mystery surrounding a face hidden - a veil of secrecy..this captures the very essense of me LOL ...kidding..I wish :)

Very nicely done in both capturing my interest
And in also being a good observer of the women
In this culture.
