Young Women, Old Women a poem

I really love this poem Young Woman, Old Woman. It has been carried by some blogs. During an international women forum earlier, this poem was widely read after it was placed on their site.

young woman, old woman
in their heart despite the years
the yearning to be beautiful
young woman, old woman
they look at each other
one with envy, the other
with fear and contempt
(of the wrinkles, old age)
young woman, old woman
they look into each other
one for a mother the other
for a daughter
