beauty mark

  i never had it, i never wanted it
  i never had your beauty mark
  nor did i have your black hair
  and hazel eyes
  my early childhood was not as simple as yours set in the country
  no i did not have a fear of nuns who dressed in black
  but i do have your taste
  i have no radio show nor did i have homemade clothes
  homemade curtains of the same material
  
  i never had it, i never wanted it
  i never had your beauty mark
  but i do have your taste
  and i do have your red face and long hands
  
  i think kallis sang a lovely norma
  you prefer rotzen in deep river
  i may not be so manly
  but still i know you love me
  even if i don’t have your beauty mark
