Claudine's Virtue

Claudine knows that her virtue
is too rare and priceless;
envious eyes avoid her...
they fear the wisdom she possesses.

What God gives some chosen individuals
is both grace and humbleness;
we can tell how true they are
when they speak and glow with honesty. 

If status, gender, race and color were a dilemma:
would God allow His purpose to fail?
No, all are equal and deserve a chance
at being all they can be and carry on the legacy. 

A beauty that remains pure
such as Claudine's must be admired;
she never went to an extent
to add that extra touch of flawlessness. 

A person that seeks perfection is 
after vanity and self-glorification...
so voracious to grasp all by not 
letting that flower of purity bloom inside.
