Rocking Cradle
Posted on Monday, March 2nd, 2009 at 3:24 pm
The hand that rocks the cradle — does it still rule the world and if so who’s hand is it?
— It is an old phrase
That hand that rocks the cradle rules the world
Women knew that the way they raised their men would could and did change society and the world
—————————-
—- Is it still true ?
Does the TV do too much of that rocking of the cradle ?
Or is it merely a silly old wives tale told by foolish women a long time ago ?
not just a phrase, it’s a poem. it’s late, two hours into it so, i’ll take the space to share:
What Rules The World
Blessings on the hand of women!
Angels guard its strength and grace,
In the palace, cottage, hovel,
Oh, no matter where the place;
Would that never storms assailed it,
Rainbows ever gently curled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world.
Infancy’s the tender fountain,
Power may with beauty flow,
Mother’s first to guide the streamlets,
From them souls unresting grow—
Grow on for the good or evil,
Sunshine streamed or evil hurled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world.
Woman, how divine your mission
Here upon our natal sod!
Keep, oh, keep the young heart open
Always to the breath of God!
All true trophies of the ages
Are from mother-love impearled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world.
Blessings on the hand of women!
Fathers, sons, and daughters cry,
And the sacred song is mingled
With the worship in the sky—
Mingles where no tempest darkens,
Rainbows evermore are hurled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world.
~ William Ross Wallace 1865
