Character Version 2

What the world 
Thinks a woman is?
That's her 'reputation'.

Sadly, 
It's often based
On false accusation,
Prejudice and supposition.

Upon further investigation
What's been found, 
She really is?
That's her 'character'.

For its her heart's 
Attunement and intention,
That truly matter. 
(Hence, the question.)

At any rate
Though it is fate,
Which presents 
Her circumstances,

Love still requires 
That a woman 
Take her chances,
To determine her character.
In that way 
The seeds of 
Her wisdom will scatter.

If here and now
 She were to somehow,
Receive an unexpected
And sudden impact,
How would she react?

How would she respond?
If the truth be known,
Character is a diamond 
That scratches a little,
Every other stone.

Yet never 
Has there been
A magic wand, 
Rock or crystal
More powerful 
Than a woman's
Strong backbone.

 We each need 
A mind and will
Of our own,
To fulfill.

Character 
Is a victory, 
Not a gift.
 Underneath the mystery
Lies the lesson 
To uplift.

Character, 
As a kettle 
Once mended,
Always requires repairs.

Sin, 
As a bad habit
Once transcended,
Always requires prayers.

Like the story goes,
A person shows 
What she is;
By what she does 
With what she has,
Not by whom 
She knows.

Self-determinism 
Is fine but needs 
To be tempered 
With self-control.

Misfortune will
Usually decline wherever 
Soul recognition
Becomes 
The ultimate goal.

'attestation'

Faith is love taking 
The form of aspiration.
While Trust is 
The witnessing of 
Its intended manifestation.

For a gallant spirit 
There can never be defeat.
When the battle is tough 
The victory is often sweet.

Give light 
And people will 
Find the way.
Illumination like the sun 
Transforms the night 
To day.

God always 
Gives His best 
To those who leave 
The choice with him.
It's hard to 
Pass the test
Without Him 
On the team.

God sleeps 
In the minerals, 
Awakens in plants, 
Walks in animals, 
And thinks in man.
Therein lies the
Magnificense Of His 
Awesome, divine plan.
