UnStereotypes

 Response to Prompt #62: The Un-Birthday Approach


She has blonde hair and big blue eyes

her nose "cute" and perfectly fitting her face

He works with his hands, bright and learned

a self-study not an academic

She is generous of her time and money

tips well and never chintzes on gifts

He is strong and confident, loves his mother

and thinks for himself

She is strong and confident, loves her husband

and earns for herself

He wishes for his children to remain close

She wished too, and will reluctantly release them

full of love and free of guilt

They will always keep their homes and their hearts 

open for love, or prayer, or a good meal

They are family, they are love, 

they are Jewish
