Poetry

---

What man is able to find a virtuous wife?
One that he can spend the rest of his life;
Such a priceless gift more than a treasure,
Worth more than jewels of any measure.

The heart of her husband has faith in her.
Able in nearly everything to fully concur;
She does him good and treats him well,
Stands behind her man helping to excel.

Buying the freshest meat and fine thread,
Ensuring her family is clothed and fed;
She shops until finding for the best price,
As well as the best quality for to entice.

She reaches out to the needy and the poor,
In compassion for hardships they endure;
She faces the future with the self-respect,
Knowing her righteousness does reflect.

Honor and praise from husband and child,
For God has kept her from being defiled;
Give her credit telling her how you value,
Of being a virtuous woman staying true.
