A woman of talent, a woman of thought,

A woman of charm and good taste,

Independent and private.

Observant and quiet,

A woman of natural grace.



A woman of truth; a woman of honor,

Firm in her beliefs and convictions,

Courageous and brave.

Though sometimes afraid,

Seeks no favors nor dispensations.



A woman of subtle humor and wit,

Is pleased to hear words of good cheer,

Approves of gentle jesting.

Finds debasement distressing,

In such case, just turns a deaf ear.

A woman of kindness, a woman of care,

Whose heart is as big as outdoors,

Can love with a passion.

Can bleed with compassion,

Shows respect and love for the Lord.



A friend I trust and entrust with my soul,

A friend of no age and no race,

As I am, she accepts me.

Seeks no cause to reject me,

A friend, I've been given by grace.
