My mother reclined on the sand, long legs extended
Shying away from the camera
Water droplets drying on her black one-piece bathing suit
Her cigarette held just so
While we kids splashed about in ice cold water
She was beautiful, but never knew it
No one ever told her; I believe they thought she understood
But she never did.
Peace, people
My streams of thought meet here

We always assume that people know the good things about themselves and so we don’t need to tell them.
Why is it that we don’t make the same assumption about the bad things?
