"She" - International Women's Day 2017
In honor of all my sisters of faith throughout the world on International Women's Day, I want to share my poem, "She." To all of you amazing, strong, courageous women who love and serve the Lord.
She
She moves with passion and such joy
Sowing gladness and love, while remaining coy
Her heart flows with giving and is full of lust
She knows no limits; love is a must
Her spirit longs to run and be free
She feels with intensity, just to be
She humbly serves others with love and grace
She preaches the Gospel and her sweet Jesus' case
She works to change the imperfect present world
Hoping to bind perfection to the future all furled
Her kindness and gentleness is her soft touch
She gives and loves always, much too much
Her heart can be worn on the edge of her sleeve
Once she gives her love, it will never leave
She throws and casts fate all away
Living and challenging her life day by day
She seizes each moment as it might be her last
As she knows time is speeding by way too fast
She knows that life is led by God's calling
So she is brave and strong; she never fears falling
Her God rules her heart; He's her strength and her might
This is what gives her the courage to fight
She interacts and lives her life feeling deeply
Her inner intuitive voice leads her completely
Her ethereal light shines on others' ways
Her eyes and her smile glow as bright sunny rays
Her empathic presence is like a warm summer day
Her inner child delights to laugh and to play
Can this nymph of light, this mysterious She,
possibly ever hope to be me?
This is my prayer and my wish to see
I trust God; He can help make me to be
