Birth Mark

When my daughter was born
There was a black birth mark,
There was a black spot on her nose
It was not her fault
But people laughed at her
And I felt guilty all the time.

As she was growing up
She felt bad about it and
She tried to cover up with hand
She tried to cover up with makeup.

One day she stopped covering up
She told me the mark is beautiful
She told others those who told her
It is ugly she does not care.

She knew it will be forever on her body
Same like her heart and eyes,
I felt this mark is an added
Beauty to her face
