More so, the salute was to the fortitude necessary to raise the child. The envy was for both the 9 months (40 weeks?) leading up to the birth, morning sickness, cravings and all, as well as the connection that the mother has to the child. Certainly, some mothers never do feel that connection and some very involved fathers can come close, but I don't think men can truly come to feel what most mothers do.

Quiet you... Say nothing till you give birth to a kidney stone! :P
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
