ROLE MODELS
Mourning doves are Quaker ladies
Sedate, subdued and graceful,
Habited in buff and gray with sable
Accents and tapering tails.
Muslim women congregating
At the well, they softly wait
Until among the seeds a space
For feeding makes itself available.
Nodding their heads they circulate
With delicate steps, amiable
Party guests, unruffled, contained,
For simple favors grateful.
