By Bracha Goetz
A hidden woman
With a plain face.
No make-up.
Not the slightest trace.
There was no need.
It was radiantly clear.
Her beauty was profound.
No others came near.
Qualities fine and rare,
And the king wanted each.
Drawn to true royalty,
Realms above his reach.
Still a hidden woman
She did remain.
Despite the fact
That the world was insane.
She saved all her People
In her quiet, pure way,
Like the great, hidden women,
Saving us all today.
A crowded apartment -
A kingdom in disguise.
Inside the truth reigns.
Outside – countless lies.
Whether sorting through laundries,
To regally dress her lot,
Or nobly being happy,
With whatever she's got,
A great radiance builds,
From the mitzvas unseen.
A hidden Jewish woman,
The most beautiful queen.
