Audrey


Audrey

A princess
may not be royal
nor bedecked in jewels.
May come from humble means,
pursue life
where grace is an acceptance
of a role, not a crown -
a heart offered
for service, not idolatry.

I have recently watched a documentary and read a long article on the life of Audrey Hepburn.  She truly believed beauty was from within and seemed more than happy to leave Hollywood and dedicate her life to serving others.  She was an ambassador for UNICEF and they say she would gather the children (covered in dirt and flies) into her arms and hug them.  

This is linked with "Poets and Storytellers United - Friday Writings #25". This is not a rewrite which was the suggested prompt for this week.  The mixed-media collage above is my work.
