Woman of Proverbs
“Charm is a delusion and beauty fleeting but a God fearing woman is to be honored” - Proverbs 31:10-31
Capable Woman
A capable woman plants seeds to birth in a harvest plan
Buys a fruitful vineyard and tends it with a tender hand
Clothed in dignity she plants seeds of holiness
Daughter of the Lord she remembers the poor in lowliness
Entrepreneur who gathers God’s inspiration like sheaths of wheat
Feeding the hungry around her table replete
Gleaning goodness from God’s gifts at hand
Happy in the work of her hands
In the shadows of dawn sings psalms to the morning
Jewel treasured at the city gates borning
Knowing her need for God today
Loyalty guides her prayer ballet
More precious than rubies her family devotion
No idle hands rest at dawn or dusk in harmonic motion
Offering light in the darkness from her overflowing lamp
Purple cloth and linen dress her in steadfast mercy’s stamp
Quiet moments in knowing calm as God’s cherished child
Reveries of laughter flow like satin pearls mild
Soaring on silk wings of blessings chivalrous
To reject bread seasoned with the frivolous
Unrestrained joy as she weaves comforting cloaks
Vigor in the fruit of her labor contentment evokes
Wise woman who speaks with humility’s pace
Xenith of creativity in woven patterns of grace
Yet she embraces the caress of God’s ways
Zeal shines out as she embraces each day
