Strength of the Woman

A woman of strength, passion and faith…


             Lord knows you've sacrifice, I just wonder how you’ve coped?

             So many things you carry on your shoulders and heart.

             When the times got too rough and the days felt too long,

              You always remember to look to God up above.

               In Him you found the courage to go on.

               You are full of compassion, love and faith.

               Looking at the past, many battles you have fought. 

               You have stood on your own… for way too long

               I’m here by your side now, you’ve been granted a break
 
               I'll be there to pick you up, if ever you should stumble

               A woman of strength, passion and faith…

               I appreciate and love you more than you see.
 
               If it wasn't for you, mother, I wouldn't have seen
