... And Virtue is Her Name

Taking the inspiration from the greatest book I know
God began to reveal some things about you, and so I began to take notes
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth
He parted the sea, feed many, He healed the blind, the sick, and the lame
But one of his greatest accomplishments was in creating woman
… and Virtue is her name

She is a woman of noble character
Which has become so very hard to find
One whose charm and grace is not deceptive
One whose strength and inner beauty are not affected by time

One who nourishes her children
With the natural, and spiritual food that she brings
One whose husband is completely confident in her love
And he lacks nothing that he needs

Her light continues to shine in times of heartache and pain
She continues to praise God in spite of, while chasing all fear and doubt away
The wisdom of God falls from her lips, while never tasting the bread of idleness
She in no way takes a portion of malice, gossip, or discontent
But cooks up her own recipe for comfort and encouragement

All that she has, she either shares, or she gives
All that she was in the past is overshadowed by all that she is
Many women call themselves “Daughters of Zion”
But not all have standards that are so highly raised
Because of her fear and reverence for God, and through her worship and praise
God has created in her a phenomenal woman
…and Virtue is her name
