A Good Woman



Some say a good woman is so hard to find
While this may be ever so true...
Yet I say a 'hard' one is her equal in kind
'Cause in a 'tight pinch' - one will do

Though her virtues quite often discarded
Are those wonderful treasures unseen
She's the type that will fight with the whole of her might
And will never let go of your dream

She's the kind that will 'winter' your weather
And the kind that sticks close by your side
So incredibly savvy and clever
She could tend to your troubles - in stride

She's the one that can make you feel special
By the way that she molds you - so chic
Or the way that she handles 'whatever'
She will rise 'bove the strongest critique

She won't strive for or bolster attention
But does stylishly 'learn how to fit'
By the ease of her style some see once in a while
She soo graciously demonstrates it
