I really don't think this needs an explanation at all.
Renwen
Diamonds seem to hang from every window
Jewels encrusting fragile skeletons of yesteryear
Pearls rest gently against a dark blanket
Every child looks out in wonder
Each grabs a boot and runs out to play
Soon, firearms are loaded, locked and ready
Then, all warfare is halted
As the knell of a mother's call is heard
Each soldier moans as the mother assembles the troops
She gives each the other boot
Hands out armour to protect her hardened fighters
Then, she gives a big kiss to each saying,
"Bring me back loot from your conquest!"
Each soldier cheers aloud
Then runs out
Wanting to be the first to show off his new prize
Day goes by,
The weary soldiers return
They peel off their armour
Fight against their boots
Drudge into the mess hall
The mother looks upon her weary soldiers
She clicks her tongue
Then lets out a big smile
She wraps her arms around each child
She tells them that she loves their loot
"What loot did we bring you?" they ask
"Rosy cheeks, sparkled eyes, and a need for hot chocolate" she replies
They look on with question in their eyes
She laughs and says
"These are the greatest treasures of a mother."
