Stirred by theme of “vocation or call” at d’Verse Poets today…
_______
young women
attend college
afraid to admit
perhaps their
fondest dream:
“I just want to
be a mother.”
“JUST” ??!!
go for it, girl!
yes, do pursue
the education
you desire in
becoming a
better person
but don’t let
any feminazi
talking head
denigrate you
for aspiring to
the high calling
of motherhood!
_______
They say that man is mighty,
He governs land and sea,
He wields a mighty sceptre,
O’er lesser powers that be,
But a mightier power and stronger,
Man from his throne has hurled,
For the hand that rocks the cradle,
Is the hand that rules the world.
-William Ross Wallace

My sentiments also…. nobody ‘has’ to be a mother if they don’t want to but they don’t have the right to take another’s dream for doing so… Diane

Ah.. the mother of child is progenitor in love of man and woman alike.. the seed of love of humankind and cooperation is in the mother’s love.. no greater power is the unconditional love of a mother true.. alive.. embracing arms of warm.. without that addiction.. criminality.. and psychopathic leaning minds can roam.. but truly it all comes back to the love of a mother well nurtured and true in now..:)
Is it no wonder we have Isis.. the Egyptian Goddess.. Mary.. and so many other authorities of unconditional giving mother love to respect.. as the love of the mother’s eyes is truly what makes humanity what it can and will be at most in unconditional LOVE!..is WHAT WE NEED NOW..:)

So many talented women do both these days, God knows how, a vocation & motherhood. My middle daughter is an RN, & is pregnant with her 4th child; my wife is a teacher, & we raised 3 wonderful girls. Life is short, & we need to propagate to preserve goodness midst the chaos.
