The Hand that Rocks the Cradle

Poem★★★★

They say that man is mighty, He governs land and sea, He wields a mighty scepter O’er lesser powers than he. But a mighty power and stronger Man from his throne has hurled: For the hand that rocks the cradle Is the hand that rules the world.

William R. Wallace.

The point

A poem: "The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world." Motherhood's quiet influence shapes generations and steers civilization more than the hands of rulers. The domestic sphere holds supreme power.
