Telling About a Perfect Wife
Her son asked her about finding
A perfect woman for him.
She said to him,
“It is very hard to find the perfect woman
But she is worth much more than Jewels.
Her husband depends on her.
He will never be poor.”
Her son smiled, he was so happy to hear
About some character of a perfect woman.
He pleased her mummy to explain more about
A perfect woman.
She continued saying,
“She does well for her husband all her life.
She never causes him trouble.
She is always gathering wool and flax
And gladly making things with her hands.
She is like a ship from a far away place.
She brings food home from everywhere.
She works very early in the morning.
She cooks food for her family
And gives the servants their share.
She looks at land and buys it.
She uses the money she has earned and plants a vineyard.
She works very hard.
She is strong and able to do all her work.
She does not have power over her body
As her husband does not have power over his body too.
They cannot refuse to give their bodies to each other
But they might both agree to stay away from sharing
Their bodies for prayers
so that Satan may not
Tempt them in their weakness.
She always be queen to her husband
When she is angry
Her husband always ask her
What is bothering you, Queen?
What do you want to ask me?
Her husband always be ready to give
All she asks for, even the half of his Kingdom,
Because she treats Him as a King of the house. “
Her son said to her,”
wonderful servant,
I am so excited with this
Inspirational teaching.”
