You will recognize this as a poetic rendition of Proverbs 31:10-31.  This and the evidence of many such Godly women here have been my inspiratrion for this verse.  -dlw-

A Virtuous Woman, oh who can one find?
Her worth is like rubies, a real gold mine!
One in whom her husband's trust will remain,
And to him she is his perpetual gain.
She really uplifts him, his backer always,
And to him,true, she devotes all her days.
She is not a slscker, she works with her hands.
Does what she can to fulfill life's demands.
Of Family and meals and services needed,
She'll go to great lengths, her garden well seeded.
And from the good of her faithful labors,
She'll use the profits for other endeavors.
For all of her efforts for others,she ne'er
        neglects,
Attention to self-that gives her true respect.
She finds her strength and uses it well,
Convinced that her efforts, worthwile, will tell.
Thus with tireless service, herself she applies
For her families needs and others besides.
She is a risk taker, for her family she'll make,
As a loving caretaker, she does all for love's sake.
Tho' perhaps in the background, her imput is known,
Which reflects in the honor that her husband is
       shown.
And her job is ne'er ending, toils of her well
       speak,
As an industrious one, in her productive feats.
Her adornment is Honor, in Strength she is clothed,
And when she speaks, her kind wisdom just flows.
Her children just love her, and praise her a lot,
And so does her husband,what a Wife he has got!
Many may flourish, in our eyes stand tall,
But such a women surpasses them all!
Charm alone will not cut it,and physical beauty
       will fade,
But for a God-fearing Woman, Praise for her will
       be staid.

What an incredible tribute this is to every woman that keeps to the path and the will of our Lord. There is no other way to fulfill all that you describe, unless her will and her heart are in total surrender to His. I can't help but say once again, that you are a master at poetry and use your gift as a faithful ministry here. Love, Ellie

How wonderful deleeme. Precious words in precious measure. Virtue is made whole when shared with God fearing men, family and loved ones. And I can only say that it is rapturous when we bring someone close to
God through any example we meet. God bless!
Sincerely,
Rwood

David, thank you for sending this my way. I don't know whether to smile or cry. What a profound way of putting thankfulness into verse.

All I can say is thank you from the bottom of my heart! I will print this out and save it, I will also mail this to one of my friends. I have no words to describe how you've touched me and I'm sure many others with this verse!
