A Good WifeWho can find a really good wife? For spending the rest of your life; Strong character and attitude, Never uncouth or being rude. She is worth more than the crown jewels, And her eyes are like soothing pools; With a husband that puts his trust, No other woman would he lust. He trusts her with his complete heart, Not wanting from her to depart; For him she doing as she should, Never lacking anything good. She always helps him never harms, And comforts him within her arms; Because her compassion is bold, Always warm never to be cold. No one ever calls her a fool, As she seeks out linen and wool; And working with her willing hands, To clothe her kin as it demands. She will be like a merchant boat, Good and services to devote; Bringing her food from far away, To nourish family each day. She wakes up as it is still dark, To feed kin before they embark; Making sure they have enough to eat, And they leave with shoes on their feet. Deceptive charm beauty will fade, But the woman is not afraid; As she remains in one accord, Since she has the fear of the Lord. Copyright © 2012 Richard Newton Sherrer Vote for this poem
