A Virtuous Woman

A Virtuous woman the Bible states

Has a price that is far above rubies;

Priceless and rare this special one is,

Her glow is from inner beauty.

The heart of her husband doth safely trust,

The Word of God goes on to say;

And he shall have no need of spoil,

As only good will she do all her days.

Her hands will always work busily,

As she toils both day and night;

She will care for the needs of her home,

And love them with all her might.

She works to clothe and feed her own,

Nothing good she withholds at all;

Her hand also stretches to meet the needs,

Of the poor as she hears their call.

She is wise, kind, honorable and strong,

A woman that is always astir;

Her children arise and call her blessed,

And her husband, he praises her.

Favor is deceitful and beauty is vain,

But this woman that feareth the Lord,

Shall be praised by all that know her,

And will receive a Heavenly reward.
