Our place is beneath our head.
Striving to be obedient.
Loving our master whole heartedly.
Tending to our families every need.
We work all through the day.
Through the night demands never cease.
Going about our every duty.
To keep up a cheerful heart.
Our tasks seem simple.
In the eyes of the ignorant.
Not seeing the sweat on our brow.
Being wiped away before seen.
To know the love a woman holds.
Flowing to those around her.
Training up her children.
To walk away well prepared.
We strive to serve our family.
Rising up early to prepare they’re way.
Speaking kind words to uplift.
A harsh word only for the disobedient.
Keeping up a well ran house.
Orderly to the very last child.
The reflection that comes from within.
Our hearts toward our provider.
A woman who can find.
Her value cannot be bought.
Who seeks righteous through all her actions.
Putting her creator above all.
Our hearts desire to give.
Like giving unto a king.
Grumblings are never to be heard.
Her every word speaks truth.
