Here is a poem my sister sent me in a letter yesterday. The poem was written by Jan Elkins.
The beauty of a Christian woman is hard to define,
But if a lady has it, you'll have a gold mine.
Because then the sick will be warmed and fed,
the classes taught, the Bible read.
Her life will demonstrate she has a higher goal,
and the trials of the earth won't take their toll.
Her face will reflect the Son above,
show off his mercy and never-ending love.
Her feet will be swift to be at your side
if you should want her, or should the need arise,
to feel the squeeze of an encouraging hand,
to know that she really does understand.
Her lips will be quick to praise,
and with a song your spirits raise,
because she'll want you to do your best,
use all your talents and let God do the rest.
She'll look with compassion on all that you do,
and be there to support you the whole year through.
Yes, the beauty of a Christian woman is hard to define,
but if a lady has it, you'll have a gold mine.
