Daylife.com: A photo of US president Barack Obama held by his mother is displayed on Rome's Colosseum as part of a campaign by an organization called "The White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood" to continue raising international awareness about the nearly 600,000 women who die worldwide each year in pregnancy and childbirth, Monday, July 6, 2009. Photos of the G8 leaders expected to meet in Italy in the upcoming summit have been displayed on the monument to ask them to keep the promises on maternal health made in Japan's 2008 G8 summit.

2. "Blessings on the hand of women! Angels guard its strength and grace...."

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.
