Faith, Hope, Charity

They are, it appears to an observer
the feminine virtues held sacred
as though entrusted to the more
sensitive sex for whom the trinity
of faith, hope and charity represents
the salvation of humankind. It is
women after all whose generational
gift it is from nature to bear and
to nurture new life in whom is to
be instilled the will to repeat
the lessons of existence ad infinitum.
Mothers must have faith that their
tender offspring will experience
existence without deadly challenges
and in this they place their hope
in the charitable belief that 
life is in and of itself benevolent
to those to exhibit the traits of
courage, resilience and endurance
in the face of realities so unlike
the ideals resting in the bosoms of
women that peace and togetherness
can prevail and conflict avoided
with patience and conciliation.
That despite the experience of
reality faith, hope and charity
endure remains life's mystery.
