A Woman

You are the reason for the success of a  man,
You're  always beside him to lend a helping hand.
Be it laughters of joy or tears of sorrow,
You'll always be protecting him from the harms of the fellow.

Fear not oh woman for patience you'll  need,
And your smile and wisdom is what's  needed to succeed.
With understanding  and love you'll never fail in his eyes,
Let the world say anything now it's  your time to rise.

Remember  at all times life is a sacrifice,
At times you need to give in and compromise.
 All you need in the end is keeping your head held high,
So that all of your foes will leave with a sigh.

I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
