All the women in black and white
Fill our attics and dusty albums
Are tucked inside manila envelopes
With diplomas and marriage licenses
All the women in black and white
Took jobs for their country
Went without silk stockings
Wrote letters on men’s hearts
All the women in black and white
Well lit and softened
Hair brushed out from pin curls
Look wiser than their years
All the women in black and white
Our mothers and grandmothers
Have mysteries in their eyes
And secrets in their smiles

they look so sophisticated
They’re beautiful. My two moms. =)
