The Wife the Mama the Matriarchal Educator
The wife
The mama
The matriarchal educator
She knows the value of school for her children
She is their first teacher, is she not?
Poverty
Submission
Laboring under awful conditions
Being taken advantage of
Receiving whatever you can get
Goes away with education
The wife
The mama
The matriarchal educator
Wants her children to have the things
Others in the family have never had.
She wants them to have pride, but not be prideful.
She wants them to learn kindness, and have time to implement it.
She wants them to be generous, and have something to share.
She knows education is the way,
So she does whatever she can
To bring as much education
As possible to her
Most cherished
Possessions,
Her
Children.
