Mother's Nature
When xenophilous young zealots
argue basic convictions,
determined, expectant
faith grabs hold.
Interceding judiciously,
kneeling, loving
mothers naturally offer prayers -
questioning, reasoning,
steadfastly teaching
unwavering values,
when xenophilous young zealots
argue basic convictions.
"An abecedarian poem honoring all first-time mothers of the empty nest. Your child goes away to college and comes home a stranger, debating everything you represent. In addition to a poetic form, an abecedarian is a beginner in any field of learning, a very appropriate description for such a mom.
a xenophile is a person who is attracted to foreign peoples, cultures, or customs
