Determination

Her appearance I cannot express But sure I know her in the flesh In myriad contexts can she speak though she's not multilingual She may be married, maybe single in every crowd she mingles She's made of iron and forged in fire a mountain-mover, soaring higher And when the battle's over and done she digs right in for the very next one

A lovely tribute to a fine lady Gershon, I'd bet it was a lovely tribute to your dear wife. Tom
