The Wisdom of Mothers

.
Raising children is definitely not a default chore for women who were not successful in the world of business, power and wealth.
Exactly how society forms the next generation will directly influence the kind of society that they in
turn create. Do we want a world focused only on the ruthless accumulation of wealth? Are we
 creating a race of humans who are becoming increasingly shallow, cold and cynical about
relationships, family and love?

A smile
for the wisdom of mothers
practical
intuitive
simple
clear.
Tears
for the suffering
necessary to acquire
wisdom
not knowledge.
Painful regret
for this hectic
modern
society
scrambling after
glitter
efficiency
success
while pushing
the wisdom of mothers
to the fringes of influence.
Joyful hope
that mothers
will reveal
their unique
wisdom
joy
strength
to a jaded
cynical
world
a world that has forgotten
that all is fleeting
except love.
Especially the love for a child.
