She Is the Nation

Who can live without a woman?
Who can live without ambition?
She is the source of all inspiration.
She is the sweetest of all creation.
She gives without any hesitation.
She fills the world with jubilation.
And injects our lives with sensation
She raises men and builds a nation.
She seeks no reward or compensation.
She preaches patience and toleration.
And cares with so much consideration.
We look up to her with all admiration. 
The greater she is, the greater the nation!

Amy, thank you for your nice compliment. By the way, I mean every word in the poem, though I feel it inadequate compared to the many great things women do.
