One can,

maybe with more bravery,

resist mild

like primrose to frost.

(Pasqualino Bongiovanni)

The poem “Natale (Christmas)” is a tribute of the Italian poet Pasqualino Bongiovanni to Aicha Chenna, the extraordinary Moroccan Woman who since the 1980’s in Casablanca, through her Association Solidarité Féminine, has been helping all the single mothers in troubles, with great love and dedication. Thus, the tribute to Aicha Chenna becomes a homage to all the single mothers who, still today, all over the world, are forced to live maternity in a very troubled way. The opportunity to appreciate this poem in different languages, and so to share it in the widest way, has been possible thanks to the generous helpfulness and the invaluable contribution of Jacqueline Naville Salemi, Antonietta Specogna, Piera Mercuri, Giuseppe Villella, José Carcione, Mario Aiello e Francesca Viscone.
