On Being a Woman by Donna Ensign Woods

No greater role on Earth
Than being a woman of worth.
Walking with God each day
Praying for guidance along the way.
Being a woman is tough !
Filled with duties, trials.....and "stuff"
Heartache....Joy...Delight.......and Fear.
Forever to Christ, we draw near.
On wings of prayer, we lift,
In faith we wait for answer and gift.
Our bodies deliver the next generation
....Each with God breathed destination.
Pray, without ceasing for each child
Who stole our hearts each time they smiled.
So hard to be patient and trust,
In a world filled with evil unjust.
Falling to our knees, we pray...
For each child who has wondered away.
Fighting a battle that can't be won
...Except through the power of God's Holy Son !
Encouraging them, when hearts are breaking...
Even when our own soul is shaking.
Reassuring them with gentle smile
When you are crying on the inside, all the while
Running a multitude of races
Seeing the future...in innocent faces.
It's tough being a Mother
...As we love and encourage each other.
We struggle to guide and teach
...From our "soap box" we often preach !
But, for our children we defend and fight
With a mother bear's vicious might !
God placed tomorrow at our breast
Entrusting us...with His precious best.
We did not give birth in the stable...
But our hands....rock the cradle.....
