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
