A Man Can Stand on His Own,
A man can stand on his own,
trusting in God alone.
No woman is his master,
as he knows unrestrained emotions spells disaster.
He threw off the lies women taught.
He took up a walking stick for a life of truth he sought.
And with hands for work he wrought,
God provided and a "wife of noble character" he brought.
She wasn't a whore, nor a woman of angry temper.
She didn't possess a running mouth of rumor.
Nor was she rebellious, irresponsible, or mean.
Neither reckless, unrestrained or obscene.
But she was his soul mate, made just for him,
as she was a woman of God, who radiated from within.
Her hands were never idle, and she provided for him,
and to her children and friends she could also provide for them.
She was humble, and kind.
She was patient in time.
So beautiful was she,
He gave all he possessed to her, gladly.
And they lived a Godly, joyful life together.
until God called them both where they can live, in heaven, forever.
