“She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.” ~Proverbs 31:26
Born upon dry desert winds
To a welcoming place of the Lord
Her tongue corrects those with sin
Her heart exudes the Holy Word
A quiet peace follows her home
And graces her as she’s out and about
She lives by the truth that she’s never alone
Never is there a moment of doubt.
Girls will be girls, but no excuse is permitted
For her, the standard is highly taught
Grace is given and mercy outfitted
Biblical rules of gold are wrought.
Eager and young, filled with joy to the brim
The woman of God holds a gathering
Candles light their vigil in the dim
Sister in Christ, yet wisely mothering
She is humbly quiet, and yet she is strong
A guide and example to mirror the Savior
Sincerity permeating, saturating each song
Love and obedience encouraging her behavior
Some cannot hope to navigate
The waves and currents that sway the young
Blessed are those who have someone to demonstrate
Even more blessed: the one by whom it is done
She rides in Elijah’s chariot,
Traveling far from here
Staff and cloak for those who’ll carry it
Left only for those who hold her dear
Adventure awaits, full of precious life
Each day filled with Christ’s communion
Many will miss this noble wife
But meeting is certain in Heaven’s Reunion!
