Poem
Who can find a virtuous woman? She is worth far more than rubies. She is not a possession but a partner. She is a fantastic conversation starter. My wife found out that her brother drowned and that she was pregnant with our first child on the same day. My wife had a husband lose his mind and her father shoot himself in the same 3 months. Who can find a virtuous woman? My wife rarely complains, walks clothed in love, and has a sexy smile like Sophia Lauren. My wife giggles and laughs at stupid jokes out of sheer hilarious kindness. Who can find a virtuous woman? Women turn to my wife for advice and direction. Men turn to my wife for encouragement and affirmation. She is not a possession but a partner. She is a fantastic conversation starter. With her I will grow old. With her I will travel back to the innocence of my childhood. Loving her has not been easy as obstacles have come against us from day one, But when I think to faint or run I dream of her soul and find strength. Who can find a virtuous woman? Her children arise and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praises her. My wife’s love for our children manifests in busy days and restful nights, And through her love my children never doubt the presence and reality of God’s affection. My wife sees the best in me when others can only see frivolity and failure. My wife beats back adversity with a conscientious smile and perspicacious laughter. My wife knows God but does not flaunt her holiness as if it is on display for the world, And my wife’s motivations are purer than the running water of mountain tops. I seek not to exalt her to a place of codependence where all of her humanity is crushed beneath the pain of my subjective worship. No, my wife is no God and she is constantly forgetting to lock her car, But when I think of King Lemuel and his question for the ages, When I think of King Lemuel and his somewhat chauvinist question, Who can find a virtuous woman? My response is always the same, I can!
